AT THE latest AGM of the Dunmow Society I heard a very good presentation from one of our leading district gurus about recycling.
Sue Barker said that Uttlesford District Council has to pay out £40 a tonne (give or take a few pounds) to get the paper sorted out when it is collected from our wheelie bins.

If we all did this perhaps our local taxes would dramatically drop!!
