Make Recycling Centre Workers Essential
Recycling centre workers to be made essential worker and reopen waste disposal tips to prevent the rise in fly-tipping.
Since the lockdown has been in place, fly-tipping has risen by 300% due to recycling centres being closed. This is due to the workers not being classed as key workers.
The rise in fly-tipping or household waste not being disposed of, could be classed as a health and safety issue of its own, never-mind a public Hygiene Problem.
Recycle Centre should be open on reduced hours with social distancing measures put in place.
