  • Comment on Recycle for Bradford by sarah morrison
    i can not understand why people who are doing community service are not sorting through the household waste recycled what has been unnecessarily tipped! Also why are Bradford not starting a fining scheme we do alot of recycling but have freinds and family members who boast of having two bins and filing them and that they can not be bothered recyling!!! Everyone in society seems so preoccupied with their rights, yet nobody seems to have told them they also have responisiblities to their community!

  • Comment on The computer recycling problem by Mike at Pacebutler Recycling
    In the US, there's a non-profit group called FreeGeek that operates like the Brant Freenet organization you mentioned here. They also provide computers to needy individuals and groups in exchange for community service. I have heard about a company in Belgium called Umicore that performs electronic recycling quite efficiently - with less than half of 1% remaining waste that couldn't be returned to the manufacturing cycle. Thanks for this article.
  • Comment on Circuit board recycling a reality by M. Gurian
    Very interesting as a brief note. Will be interested in the details. The key to sucessful recycling is not only to dis-asemble the pieces but to treat them into recoverable and valuable individual streams in a reasonably economic process. Getting metals distinguished into adequately pure streams of useful individual metals or alloys will be a difficult problem. Looking forward to find the detailed work, if there is ever sufficient disclosure to judge details of the process and end stream analysis. Also the restriction or makeup of the starting circuit products may make considerable difference in the ease and universality of the process.

  • Nasty pothole on mini roundabout, 23rd January, cheltenham
    Hi, there is a mini roundabout intersecting Hales Road and Hewlett Road in Cheltenham which has developed a mid sized pothole half way around it. Unfortunately, it is just where everyone's nearside front wheel naturally drives to as you traverse the roundabout and creates a nasty bump. In addition, on the next mini roundabout directly after this one, intersecting Harp Hill and Priors Road, there is either a sunken drain cover or pothole forming again by the nearside front wheel forcing you into it. Could someone please take a look and patch them up? Thanks

  • Loss of public footpath, 21st January, GL2 8BZ
    Contractors digging up the area (only weeks after it was made good) to facilitate pulling of new power cables through recently laid piping have cut through the path and made the surrounding area a mudbath with their tracked vehicles, which means pedestrians have to negotiate across a muddy area and cross the road near the BP garage. Surely the contractor could put down temporary flooring so that pedestrians have a clean path to use?
