Firstly can you give the Grid Ref for Sutton Barton, or is this the name of the Landfill site near Ofwell? Secondly, can we make absolutely sure that the plastic food containers, and indeed any of the other recyclable waste, is actually is recycled and not passed along a chain eventually leading to land fill in another place/country. In the past some of our 'recycled stuff' has actually ended up in 3rd World Countries in dumps, as has oil and other noxious stuff. Cheers Two requests!

I think this is one I can take to the meeting on Wednesday 16th Dec. Be good if there is a recycling champion from Axminster so we can bend their ear...

I put this question to Cllr Giles & Cllr Chubb. There is a trial taking place in Beer of plastics & cardboard (doorstep collection). If this proves successful, it looks like rolling it out across the whole of East Devon.
