Thats what they seem to be advocating between the King Alfred and the Marina, giant bins.... |

Giant bins now, the only problem is they won't be emptied so regular so Brighton could become very smelly at times....

Good piece here. Until people create less rubbish there will be dumps.

You would think that all the trendy Green voters in Brighton would be pleased to have a nice shiney recycling centre close by so that their waste could dropped off easily when they cycle past. No need to travel to far either. Very good for the environment as a whole?
Question is if it is not going to be a waste depot then what could the land be used for?
Lots more houses?
I know, Brighton needs a new Sewage Treatment Works.
Better here than in a greenfield site in Peacehaven?

This is the sort of reason people are lumbered with a Dump.
All this lot are moaning about not being able to throw their rubbish down a chute.
Why aren't they recycling it? Get with it there!

Now, I'm no Sherlock Holmes but maybe, just maybe, the massive building site, diggers, yellow-vested workers etc, heavy machinery etc would perhaps suggest the WTS is being built at Hollingdean as I write. |

It's very sad to think that people doesn't support campaign like this one for fear that it will be located in their own community, because it shouldn't be located in any community in the first place.
Soon will be accusing our neighbours of producing more rubbish than us, madness. |

We need to have a serious rethink regarding the waste disposal plan in Brighton & Hove City. And that is going to need input from people across the board. |

Posted - 29/06/2007 : 13:58:33
That place is on Queen's Road at North Road, there's some sort of garden next to it.
Hope that your meeting does not resolve to put the dump in Portslade. |

ah! thanks for pointing out the error, but I'm just ordinary person supporting this campaign, and I copied as publish on their web. I have not idea about the address because I've never been there before, so if someone can be helpful, thanks in advance.
BTW, I've never here such a fruitless word as NIMBY. |

Ah! ha! so the dump is not of concern to everybody as a citywide matter of waste disposal?
It is a nimby matter for people around it?
Surprised the council didn't foist the thing on Portslade. Perhaps that is what quest would settle for! |

I am not calling quest names.
This is a Forum, and I have pointed out that quest has got the address of the Brighthelm Centre completely wrong, which might send people on a fwild gose chase, and that quest made a very bad strategical error in putting up candidates at the Election and let Labour back in - and I see that Miriam Binder agrees with that. |

We got over 1,300 votes which is fantastic ! This would not have been possible without your support and hard work so THANKYOU
The votes we got were as follows:
Hollinbury 408 for Nick Savvides
and Stanmer
Preston Park 644 for Jo Offer
So, if they wanted Green support, why did they put up candidates, split the vote and help Labour get back in there? Doesn't make sense. |

Are B and H and P glass bottles separated by color [American spelling!] by the roadside collectors or are they all thrown in together and therefore useless for recycling and so sent off for road hardcore?
I suspect that the state of the roads in B and H and P means that in fact the Council is using the recycled paper for the hardcore. |

Been busy reclaiming contents of a tin or two.
All very confusing really.
Why not just take all to the dump and sort it there? |

It's not a Dump Dave, it's a Waste Transfer Station' for 'onward shipping of non-recyclables to an energy recovery plant.' That's an Incinterator by the way....get with the spin Dave, keep up. |

Piles of rubbish at a dump!
Sorry Recyclic Centre (posh name)
Good grief |

Joe, apparently the same Waste Trasfer Station in Lancing that was open on the 2nd April 2007, and it already was reported complaints about odour issues during Easter time in April, for delays in removal of black bags, non-recyclables, and the problem has not been completly resolved. An article from the Argus archive say how environmentalist have complained after mountain of rubbish were allowed to gather at the recycling centre. A neighbour said that there were so many plastic bags stacked by the bins that they were blowing all over the road, the problem began to develop during Easter weekend ... |

Fire crews are battling a large fire at a recycling plant.
The blaze started in a shredding machine at the 45 metre (148ft) by 50 metre (164ft) building on Lancing Business Park.
Six fire crews from Lancing, Shoreham and Worthing were called to the site in Chartwell Road just before 10am today.

Workers from surrounding buildings have been evacuated.
A spokesman for West Sussex Fire and Rescue Service said crews were bringing the blaze under control. |
