Green waste recycling service

The following press release was issued by Waverley Borough Council on 15 September 2006

Following residents’ concerns over traffic congestion at the public waste amenity site in Witley, Waverley Borough Council is looking at providing an additional green waste recycling facility in the Godalming / Milford area.

Following residents’ concerns over traffic congestion at the public waste amenity site in Witley, Waverley Borough Council is looking at providing an additional green waste recycling facility in the Godalming / Milford area. Aiming to mirror the increasingly popular and similar facility that has recently been introduced in the Fairground car park, Haslemere, Waverley would provide a refuse vehicle to which householders could bring their garden waste.

Councillor Victor Scrivens, portfolio holder for the Environment says: “We have listened to the issues raised by the community, and believe that an additional facility would be one way to ease the burden on the Witley tip, and ease some of the local traffic congestion. We are actively investigating potential sites; this would be a great opportunity that would support the environment by increasing the recycling of garden waste that will be taken and turned into compost and would assist residents with their waste management.”
