St John may start recycling scheme

Tuesday 7th March 2006, 12:00AM GMT.

THE Island’s first household waste recycling scheme since the introduction of separate glass collections will begin in St John, if parishioners agree.

Proposals for the waste collection project, which would see residents separating their rubbish into bins for similar recyclable materials, have been backed by Transport and Technical Services and the States recycling officer.

The idea is expected to be approved by parishioners at a parish meeting tonight.

St John Deputy Andrew Lewis developed the scheme after speaking in depth to many environmentally-aware parishioners.
