Cambridgeshire County Council Recycling Bus Launch

Today at King's Hedges Primary School the County Council launched their new Recycling Buses. This is part of a programme of waste education and campaigning undertaken by the County in schools and local communities across Cambridgeshire and also coincides with the European Week for Waste Reduction.

The purpose of these new buses is to tour the County visiting schools and introducing children to the ideas of Recycling and Reuse.

The buses were officially launched by Barbara Follett MP (Minister for the East of England). Joining her at the launch were myself, Belinda Brooks-Gordon (County Councillor for Castle), Tony Orgee (Cabinet member for Economy and the Environment), and Bernard Warr (Head of Waste Management at the County Council).

Cambridgeshire has actually done pretty well when it comes to recycling achieving a rate of 44% for household recycling. Hopefully the newly introduced blue-bins we've been seeing rolled out in the city will increase the recycling rate here.
