Mission Impossible newsletter on its way to residents

Herefordshire Council is urging residents to keep their eyes peeled for a waste-busting newsletter winging its way to them.

The council's residents' newsletter, Herefordshire Matters, will be arriving through letterboxes in the next couple of weeks. As well as the usual great features on council news, Herefordshire Matters also includes the latest edition of Mission Impossible News.

The eight-page insert is bursting with information-packed articles and tips aimed at helping residents reduce, reuse and recycle their household waste. It also gives readers the chance to win a trip to the Eden Project, including B&B accommodation for one night; as well as a number of runners-up prizes.

Councillor John Jarvis, Herefordshire Council's cabinet member for environment and strategic housing said: "There are plenty of ways residents can do their bit to help reduce the amount of waste sent to landfill each year. The newsletter not only contains handy hints about what they could be doing, but also shows examples of residents who are already successfully reducing their household waste. We hope that the people of Herefordshire will take on board at least a few of these messages and help us to continue reducing waste in the county."

Mission Impossible is a unique project aimed at helping residents find simple ways to manage their waste and reduce the amount of rubbish they throw away. Those wanting to find out more should call the Mission Impossible helpline on 01905 766883 or visit http://www.wastemissionimpossible.org.uk/
