Campaign to increase food recycling in Mole Valley

A campaign is aiming to encourage an increase in food recycling.

A roll of free caddy liners, an information leaflet and a ‘No Food Waste’ sticker from Keep Britain Tidy will be delivered to Mole Valley households from mid-October over the next three months.

The District Council is supporting Surrey Waste Partnership’s food waste awareness campaign.

Last year almost 50,000 tonnes of household food waste was put into rubbish bins in the county.  It is estimated Surrey could save £3 million per year if all food waste is recycled.

Enough food waste to fill an Olympic swimming pool is thrown away in Mole Valley on an annual basis.

Fly-tipping on bridleway in Charlwood

Fly-tipping is being targeted by Mole Valley District Council.

The latest incident saw three piles of illegally dumped rubbish on a bridleway in Charlwood.

Contents included personal letters and trophies.  Broken glass was also found.

Residents are being reminded to check the credentials of anyone collecting waste from their property as they have a responsibility to ensure their waste is disposed of legally.

Fly-tipping in Mole Valley costs taxpayers £30,000 every year.
