WORK is beginning on the first of three recycling centres that are designed to dramatically increase recycling rates.
The public site, next to a cleansing depot in Tod Point Road, Warrenby, will provide about 30 skips for the disposal of glass, plastics, newspaper, textiles, garden waste, books, wood and oil.
The £200,000 project is funded by the Government and designed to help to increase the amount of recycled rubbish in the area from seven-and-a-half per cent to 18 per cent. Another two recycling plants for the borough will also cost £200,000 each.
Work on the Warrenby site was due to begin this week and is intended to be used by residents in Redcar, Marske and New Marske.
The three sites, to be developed at a combined Government-funded cost of £600,000, are expected to be completed by March and be operational in May or June.
