Nottinghamshire County Council say a petition created by Independent Alliance councillors opposing the potential closure of nine out of the county's twelve recycling plants is "based on rubbish in more ways than one". Independent Alliance Leader Jason Zadrozny handed the petition to new Conservative county council chairman Richard Butler during a meeting.
The petition, which has been signed by more than 2,700, says: "Closing these popular recycling centres will lead to a rise in fly-tipping which is not environmentally friendly. It will increase journey times for residents who need to dispose of their waste responsibly and sustainably. This means more carbon emissions as people are forced to travel further distances.
He said: “Every petition submitted to Nottinghamshire County Council receives a considered reply, and this one presented by Councillor Zadrozny regarding Household Waste Recycling Centres will be no different.
