Charlie Williams of CARC (Citizens Against Recycling Charges) has sent me the following press release. Please read and, if possible, come to the meeting
CARC - Public meeting 5th October 2009
To Whom it May Concern
As the spokesperson of CARC (Citizens Against Recycling Charges), I am pleased to invite you to our first public meeting at the Inishowen Development Board offices, Pound Street Business Park, Carndonagh on Monday October 5th at 8:30 PM.
Recycling is the only way to reduce landfills, illegal fly tipping, backyard burning of garbage and also carbon emmissions.
Before charges were introduced at the Carndonagh Recycling Centre the facility was widely accepted by local people used properly and diligently. Since the introduction of charges for most of the goods returned the service is hardly being used anymore. Unfortunately people are choosing to burn their garbage again or even dump it in our environment.
The results of this are already fatal, as we could see – not only in several press reports.
58 % of the Carndonagh people and more than 3,000 citizens from other parts of the Inishowen peninsula have signed a petition to "keep all recycling brought to Carndonagh Recycling Centre free of charge".
We would like to discuss with you the urgency of free recycling.
I hope you will find the time and come to this meeting. Please RSVP to Charlie Williams, 62 Ard Colgan, Carndonagh or call 086 1934677.
With kind regards,
Charlie Williams
