Food waste scheme was launched in Oct 2011
the aim was to increase the recycle rate of Spelthorne borough up from measely 35%.
I was the lead member (Chairman) of the Task group to look at the way of increasing the recycle rate with the introduction of food waste scheme.
We introduced food 2 caddies, one for the kitchen for tranporting food waste an another for outside, introduced weekly collection. With many meetings, co-ordination, co-operations with the officers and staff of Spelthorne Borough Council. We did it.
We bought new lorries, new bins, new staff, excellent PR and advertisement and converted many skepics. Finally It was launched in October 2011. By Jan 2012 we increase the recycle rate by 4%, we were euphoric with minor problems. Now our recycle rate is 46.6%.
Major sucess.
Thank you to all our residents, we could not have done this without you and hard working staff of the Council. Nigel Lynn, Sandy Muirhead, Jackie Taylor, were simply fantastic.
Thanks to Cllr Gething, Bushnell, Dunn, Rough & Bannister.
