Plastics - Yet Another Year To Wait

Earlier this year Park Ward Liberal Democrats launched a petition calling on Wolverhampton City Council to initiate kerb side collection of plastics for recycling. Councillor Robin Lawrence has now learned that that it will be at least one more year before any sort of regular city wide collection of plastics for recycling is introduced. A spokesman for "Enterprise", the privatised waste-collection service used by the council, told Councillor Lawrence that there could be a small-scale trial of plastics collection taking place by April 2008 but he could not confirm where such a trial might be taking place.
