A database of all the firms and organisations in the West Country that recycle and re-use any kind of waste material is currently being assembled.
Smaller waste minimisation and recycling directories were produced in 1998 and are now due to be updated.
“Extending the scheme to include the whole of the south west was the next logical step after the success of our smaller directories,” said Tessa Bowering for the Environment Agency.
“With landfill space in the south west filling up its vital that we make recycling easier and we hope people will want to get involved and help relieve some of the pressure on our environment.”
To ask for a form to register in the new south west waste minimisation directory contact the Public Relations Department, Environment Agency, Manley House, Kestrel Way, Exeter, EX2 7LQ or by phone on 01392 444000 ext: 2243.
