Recycling is 'being burned because a refuse giant is overwhelmed'

Recycling is “being burned because a private refuse giant is overwhelmed,” according to a whistleblower. “Veolia has allegedly turned away trucks carrying a total of 40 tonnes of recycling in the week after the festive period. The whistleblower claims the company then incinerated the waste, collected in Brighton, when it ‘should have been recycled.’” Brighton and Hove Council vowed to launch a thorough investigation.
