Everyone agrees that we cannot simply send more and more waste to landfill. There wouldn't be enough holes in the ground and the ones we have are rapidly filling up. As the waste in them breaks down, gases contributing to climate change are released.

There is also the problem of chemicals leaching into the ground and water resources. Continually burying and burning rubbish is no environmentally sound solution to the waste we produce.

Also the earth and its natural resources are a finite resource. Recycling ensures maximum use of the resources we do extract from the environment while also reducing the amount of environmentally damaging emissions produced.

South Ribble residents have expressed a high degree of satisfaction with the waste and recycling collection we introduced. We would like to thank all residents for their co-operation and hard work in helping to make South Ribble an environmentally responsible place to live.
