NEWBRIDGE TIDY TOWNS ASSOCIATION
WASTE MINIMISATION SURVEY 2008
As part of Newbridge's entry to the National Tidy Towns Competition 2008 the Association have decided to carry out a survey of Businesses, Schools and Households to determine the level of Recycling currently being achieved in the town. The results of this survey are being published on this website - and this page has the results of a survey carried out in Households in the town of Newbridge.
We carried out a similar survey of the Business Community & Schools in 2005, however this is the first time we have surveyed the Residential Community of Newbridge.
Thanks to all who have responded to this survey, if you would like to participate please contact us by email at Email: Newbridge Tidy Towns Association
