V pleased to see St Albans now 5th (up from 58th) in recycling league table of English local authorities. This was for the year ending March 2019 but only reported in December. The new scheme also saves £400k per year.

@NFUtweets @hertscc Isn’t it! Hopefully your members in the area will see less litter on their farms in future 👍

#SkyLanterns might look pretty, but they can injure or kill farm animals and wildlife, cause industrial sized fires and litter our beautiful British countryside. Join our campaign to ground sky lanterns for good https://t.co/X9IDtgW2I4
