Colin Breed said:

" I am delighted that DEFRA have finally decided to support this bid for arecycling centre for East Cornwall. It can no longer be acceptable that theUK only recycles 11% of it's waste and puts 81% into the ground.

Something will have to give at some point and I refuse to allow thisGovernment to continue to let that be the health of our children or thestate of our beaches. I would like to encourage everyone to support therecycling centre and to make a determined start at recycling their householdwaste"
