“The overdue introduction of doorstep recycling in the Bridport, Beaminster and Lyme areas has resulted in recycling rates rising to over 27% of all waste in recent months,” says Beaminster Councillor Caroline Payne (pictured left). “This shows that people are keen to do their bit for the environment.”
The Liberal Democrats have long campaigned for the introduction of doorstep recycling – now they are calling for the range of products being collected to be increased.
“We must follow leading Lib Dem Councils, such as South Somerset, in collecting kitchen waste for recycling and look again at collecting plastic,” added Caroline.
