We’re Going Green - Do you know what DMR is?
From mid-January 2011 the NSC is changing its waste contractor and with it the whole policy of waste management. We currently spend £50,000 a year getting rid of our waste, most of it going to landfill. This isn’t good for either the bank balance or the environment and it has to change. There can’t be many of you who, at home, don’t have at least two receptacles for waste and will be used to separating your rubbish. We here at NSC will have two bins where there is now one. There will be bins for Dry Mixed Recyclable, and for landfill (waste food etc). We will have a centrally located bin for your old laptops, televisions etc, as well as strategically placed bottle banks and bins for your old batteries, fluorescent tubes etc.
The NSC old fashioned steel bins will disappear and we will be asking you to ‘go the extra mile’ (well few yards actually) to find the right bin to put it in. With your help we can save over 30% of that 50k!
The new scheme will save the Association a considerable sum of money. There are penalties of course if we get it wrong but with your help we can move forward into a greener future which can’t be a bad thing. We will be asking you to use clear bags for your DMR and black ones for the landfill. The clear ones can be emptied (preferably) into the DMR bin and used again. We will have a container sized bin for all your large rubbish which is currently being dumped anywhere.
The new waste company have worked hard in preparing a scheme to suit our needs and which, barring the inevitable teething problems, is of financial benefit and, most importantly, is more environmentally friendly.
If you have any questions please email john.gardener@nra.org.uk who will be happy to help.
A Happy New Year to you all!
