Plastic recycling
I know this has been covered before but I cannot find it!
I went to Cole green dump today to recycle my plastic bottles (as I was passing) Un known to me that they do not have this facilty there to do so. When I asked the young lad where the plastic recycling should go he pointed to the general rubbish and said that they should go in there! Well I was appalled as I carefully recycle almost every thing I use and usually go to the ware dump to do this. I think our council are one of the most lazey councils around when it comes to recycling! The nearest plastic bottle recycling place is up at sele farm, so I went there. Well there was more bagged plastic bottles outside the holder than inside and a primeplace for rats to have a feed. Needless to say I bought my bottles home with me again and sent an email to the council!
There is an obvious demand for this service and an environmental demand too.

If only they were as enthusiastic about collecting recycling as they are parking fines!

Nearest site is the Ware site on the A602. Other sites are in Hoddesdon, including Sainsbury's car park. More info is available on http://www.wasteaware.org.uk
Cole Green is one of 3 household waste site in Herts that do not offer plastic recycling, of the total of 19 household waste sites.

They are all too spread out,Unless you are passing one of those sites, you are not likely to bother separating out plastics I would favour collection points nearer the town centres across the district or even better doorstep collections like with have with paper.

Plastics are also taken in the recycling bins at Van Hage's. Always seem to be room in the bins when I take bottles there.
