Business as Usual Following Recycling Factory Fire

Milton Keynes Council officers are working flat out to maintain normal service to the public, following the major fire at the Recycling Factory at the weekend.

A substantial part of the building, in Colts Holm Road, Wolverton, was damaged after fire broke out on Saturday, 2 April. Fire officers are still investigating the cause.

However, pink sacks will still be collected on the usual day, although it may be a bit later in the day than normal. Garden waste collection will be unaffected.

Liberal Democrat Councillor Douglas McCall, Cabinet member with responsibility for recycling, said: "Of course this is a real blow, and we are still looking at the longer-term implications of this fire, but we are doing our best to minimise any disruption to the public."
