It is essential that you expand collections to include plastic etc and also expand collections to flats are there are many in Harrogate. In these days of global weather problems surely affluent Harrogate should be leading not trailing behind other cities in the UK. We must reuse and recycle as much as possible but not incinerate.

Recycling and-reusing- are a great opportunity to enhance our environment and our community. Most of our waste can be reused or recycled for ecological and financial gain.

Consequently avoiding using the copious number of black bags (paid for from Council Tax) left by the refuse collectors. The council can contribute by providing sensible collections or more communal multi-collection points for recycling.

This has since been expanded to include unwanted clothing. One phone call allowed unwanted furniture and electrical items to be collected and recycled. Sad to see how far behind Harrogate Borough Council is.

Why must we continue to find another method of disposing of cardboard and plastic (ususally involving driving to the tip; not a worthwhile journey, carbon footprint-wise) when both of these make up arguably 50%, if not more, of our household waste in this day and age? Why pick up paper and not card? Ridiculous. Do it properly or not at all.

Why can't we have a similar system? I appreciate it would need extra investment from council but something positive has to be done as this would also reduce the uneconomical short journeys to the tip and the Wetherby Road which also adds to congestion at peak times and weekends.

We have a responsibility as adults not only to take care of the planet while our generation thrives but also to set an example for our children, so that they realize that they will have this responsibility themselves when they grow up and then pass it on to their children.
