19. Rough recycling conditions in the U. K. village of Wye


WyeCycle Documentary from James Dolan on Vimeo.


This 5-minute documentary is about a community recycling company, WyeCycle, in England.  The staff is dedicated, motivated, positive and inventive.  For example, they turned old mini-vans into recycling trucks that run on bio-diesel that they make themselves. But they work under difficult circumstances and their future is uncertain.  
I feel bad for these inspiring recyclers because they don't appear to have the financial support they need to do their work without struggle. Could this be the fate of rural recyclers in places like Wisconsin, who may lose public funding?  What a shame that would be.
