Middlesbrough ends Biffa contract
Kerbside recycling in Middlesbrough will be brought back in house, it has been agreed.

Building work starts at AD plant
A Peterborough composting business could be set to provide power to more than 1,400 homes with the building of an anaerobic digestion plant.
Work at Bettaland Products, part of Organic Recycling, to build the facility is set to be completed by the end of 2015.
The plant at Decoy Farm will turn crops and waste into electricity alongside Bettaland’s existing composting operations.
