New recycling facility opens in Leicestershire
A new £1m recycling facility has opened in Leicestershire village for public use.
The county council-owned site sits on the edge of Moutsorrel and will replace the centre at Sileby, which has now gone defunct. Local residents first opposed the building on Granite Way as fears grew that the facility would cause noise pollution and increase traffic.
The council, however, said that the recycling centre would greatly reduce pollution and allow for more efficiency than the previous site. Protestors continued to oppose the move, however, saying the building would be too close to residential areas
Over a dozen houses are lined at the back of the centre, but it will allow for residents to recycle items more easily such as cooking oil, batteriers and Tetra Paks in addition to regular household rubbish. The council said that the facility would help reduce the city’s waste sent to landfill.
