Recycling

Some plastics could soon be recycled in Hampshire for the first time.

After a dumped battery was blamed for a major fire, residents are asked to recycle them correctly.

At the heart of the dispute are the Waste Recycling and Collection Officers, who were paid more than some other bin workers.

The free event which was due to be held in Grimsby will be rearranged for the next school holidays.

East Riding of Yorkshire Council will hand out 60 tonnes of compost to residents at eight events.

Some recycling centres close temporarily as traffic builds up on a busy school holiday weekend.

Campaigners argue the site will cause congestion and is at risk of flooding.
