Recycling Rubbish
WE’RE GETTING IT SORTED 
An ultra-modern Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) opened in July at Ford near Littlehampton.
The multi-million pound complex is one of the most advanced in the country and is now sorting the different items we put into our kerbside recycling bins.
Just watch out for details
from your district or borough council about what you can put in your recycling bin.
The plant is making use of the latest technology to sort items and prepare them to be sent to companies who then recycle them into everything from clothes to water filters and even material to surface roads.
The MRF is just part of an ambitious programme in West Sussex to cut the amount of waste that gets buried in landfill. Waste not only produces greenhouse gases but also harms our pockets because of the tax on every tonne we dispose of. West Sussex County Council faces fines if it exceeds a fixed quota on the amount going to landfill.
So instead of treating rubbish as a problem, we are turning it into a valuable resource.
You can do your bit simply by increasing the amount you recycle and by reducing the amount of rubbish you put in your black sack.
