Recycling Warning to City Council
Posted on: Friday, 18 November 2005, 09:00 CST
Friends of the Earth is calling on Cardiff council leaders to increase their 2010 recycling target to 60 per cent.
Campaigners warned against incineration as the Lamby Way landfill site runs out of space.
Cardiff Friends of the Earth waste officer Phil Ward, said: 'The majority of household waste could be recycled or composted. Through the adoption of sensible policies, the amount of municipal waste could even be cut to zero within 25 years.
'
FoE wanted to see:
Cardiff's recycling target increase from 40 to 60 per cent by 2010;
City-wide, weekly collections by 2006;
Provide free green bags and promote the importance of recycling.
Coun Elgan Morgan said: 'Cardiff has to make long-term waste disposal arrangements and look at sustainable solutions.'
