Lynn Clarke Press Release Status: immediate Date: 24 June 2009 Boost for recycling rates at Lynnbottom Civic Amenity site A partnership initiative between Island Waste Services and Wight Reclamation, the company responsible for the day-to-day operation of the Lynnbottom Civic Amenity site has resulted in a marked rise in the overall amount of waste being collected for recycling at this site. The most recent initiative has involved the segregation of waste brought into the site in black bags for reprocessing into fuel or recycling. Stan Howe of Wight reclamation said: Although we already have a number of containers for the separate collection of many items brought into the site we felt there was scope to collect and recycle more. With the help of all the site staff we have realised this objective. Simon Crook General Manager of Island Waste Services added: The results speak for themselves. Since January this year the recycling rate has risen from just under 60% to over 80%. I would like to thank all the Wight Reclamation staff and our site manager Nigel Walters for their efforts in this achievement. We must also acknowledge the important part played by the public, in separating items into all the appropriate containers and encourage everyone to continue to segregate their waste as much as possible, to conserve landfill.
