Several recycling sites cannot be expanded and have to be shut when waste containers are moved
Recycling 'supersites' could be created as part of major changes aiming to cut queues and traffic at existing centres in Nottinghamshire. Councillors on Nottinghamshire County Council's Place Committee will be asked to endorse a raft of changes on Wednesday, March 27, to tackle the problem of cramped recycling sites and the traffic impact they have on nearby roads.
The new report calls for sites which do not create traffic issues on surrounding roads, and do not need to be closed whenever waste containers are moved. The outlined alterations would save £1.7m per year, as well as improve the service for residents.The possible scenarios would require larger new “supersites”, according to the council's report. No locations have been chosen yet, although there are a range of council-owned sites available.
A reconfiguration would have “minimal operational impact”, and would still leave 97 per cent of residents within a 20-minute drive of a site. Poor layouts are currently affecting recycling rates, with Kirkby-in-Ashfield only recycling 63 per cent of its waste, compared to 86 per cent at Calverton, due to lack of space to sort it.
