Thirtieth Anniversary Of The First Bottle Bank

EDM number 1708 in 2006-07, proposed by Eric Illsley on 14/06/2007.

That this House celebrates the 30th anniversary of the establishment of the UK's first bottle bank in Barnsley in 1977; pays tribute to those people who began this initiative in order to increase the amount of glass available for recycling; in particular congratulates Dr Stanley Race CBE and Ronald England, the originators of this ground-breaking initiative, who returned to the location of the first bottle bank on 6th June 2007 to commemorate the anniversary; and calls upon the Government to give fresh impetus to glass recycling by requiring the collection of recyclates by separated material and not by weight, which has led to the collection of vast quantities of unusable recyclable material.

This motion has been signed by a total of 52 MPs.
