Battery dangers, compostable conundrums and welcome back to Whipsnade!
Batteries are causing issues for waste operatives at the moment, we're puzzled what to do with 'compostable' plastic and our bins are overflowing with recycling. What to do? Louise Palmer, St.Albans District Council's Waste and Recycling Officer, has the answers. Plus, it was with a sigh of relief that zoos like Whipsnade were told last weeks that they were allowed to reopen on Monday But the effect of zoo lockdown is more wide reaching than we might think. We hear from ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's Chief Operating Officer Owen Craft.
