Sarah’s Household Waste Recycling Centres Petition

The recent decision to charge Somerset residents £8.50 to use a Dorset Council household waste recycling centre in Sherborne is unfair.

Residents of Milborne Port, Henstridge, Charlton Horethorne, Corton Denham, Templecombe and the surrounding areas should not be expected to make a 28-mile round trip to access a free household waste recycling centre – especially as fuel prices continue to rise.

In addition to increasing the environmental impact of residents’ waste disposal, this new charge discourages proper separation of waste and risks exacerbating recently recorded increases in fly-tipping.

Sign below to urge the Government to take immediate action to ensure Somerset residents can access household waste recycling centres free-of-charge:
