Street waste recycling cuts council costs

摘要

Recycling business Gwrtaith Gwynedd is licensed to recycle 25,000 tonnes of waste ayear. The company was handling green waste for Gwynedd Council, but with the Gritbuster it felt it could do a lot more. So it asked the council if it would like to trial the technology. Welsh authorities face tough statutory recycling targets and fines of 200 pounds for every tonne they fall below them. While Gwynedd had achieved impressive results by concentrating on domestic and commercial waste, to achieve further reductions it needed to focus on other municipal waste such as road sweepings and gully waste. So the approach from Gwrtaith Gwynedd was timely.
