On Friday I spent the afternoon with the Calderdale environmental team. firstly at the recycle site at Dean Clough seeing people bring their waste to recycle and also seeing the dustbin wagons arriving with the household waste collection. It was amazing to see just how much household waste is NOT recycled! Later I went out with one of the Environmental Enforcement Officers to look at the fly tipping issue in Halifax. As you will see from the picture this is a problem and one that needs to be addressed. Our beautiful countryside is being spoilt by a few people who do not have the sense to take their rubbish to the correct site. Anyone seeing fly-tipping should report this to the council as soon as possible. We all need to be vigilant and keep our town and countryside litter free.
