Keep Bridgnorth Recycling Centre Open!

As Telford are proposing to charge Shropshire residents to use their sites, the nearest one would be Craven Arms, a 1 hour 20minute round trip (if you live in Bridgnorth) – made even longer by undoubted queues as the tip will be in greater demand!

Why is this important?

Shropshire Council has passed a budget which includes closure of two of the five Household Recycling Centres in Shropshire. Unless we make our voices heard, Bridgnorth could be closed.

This could lead to more flytipping and greater cost and environmental damage from all the long car journeys. We can also recycle more things at the Recycling Centre than elsewhere which could end up being disposed of instead and have a nationally important flat screen recycling facility on the site at Faraday Drive.

They need to rethink proposals to close recycling services.
