Podcast Episode 1: Waste & Recycling

• Mar. 30 by Kasper Sorensen (1)

The Waste & Recycling team; Alice Tidey, Chloe Botting, Rebekah Douglas and Katie Wood discusses carrier bags, littering in the streets and recycling around Birmingham.

A local Asda store advertised that they might start to charge for carrier bags. Some stores are already taking these measures, Alice asks whether it’s a good idea or not.

The team talks about the governments plans to fine people who spread litter in the streets. It has been suggested that CCTV will be used to catch people and give them a fine on the spot but no criminal record. Is that taking ot too far?

Birmingham have recently seen plans for a new nappy recycling plant as well as other plants around the city. Is Birmingham doing enough for recycling and where can we improve?
