RECYCLE your Rubbish, an A-Z directory of places in the Malmesbury area where materials can be recycled, has gone online.
The site will contain updated information from a free booklet of the same name published in December that lists organisations and businesses where materials including plant pots, dog leads and computers can be recycled.
The directory has been compiled by Angie Dailey with the help of four volunteers and has gone online with the help of a £1,000 grant from North Wiltshire District Council to run the site for the next two years, and Malmesbury company Grayhill Internet Design.
Ms Dailey said the paper version of the directory used to get outdated very quickly. "With the website anybody with Internet access or those who use the Broadband facility at the library can get an up to date copy of the directory any time," she said.
The site's address is www.recyclingdirectory.info.
Last week the Gazette & Herald started a campaign in Malmesbury after the town was left out of a £938,454 scheme to bring kerbside recycling to parts of Wiltshire.
Towns in north Wiltshire selected by Wiltshire County Council to be included in the scheme are Wootton Bassett, Calne, Corsham, and Chippenham.
The towns were chosen because of their population density.
The county council said that if the scheme were to be expanded, money would have to be found from North Wiltshire District Council.
Ms Dailey said she felt let down by the decision. "Malmesbury was one of the first places in the UK in the 1980s to hold a junk swap day and now we have the recycling directory. I feel it shows the goodwill of the people of Malmesbury we want to recycle but it is left up to people like me to do it," she said.
