How many Merseyside "Recycling" site fires have we had in the last year, that must be at least five?

Quite a few. Just another form of re-cycling and/or polluting.

Somewhat counter productive !

Wondering if these companies dealing with waste need insurance or if they can claim when someone else's old rubbish goes up in flames ?

How can a load of old rubbish be assessed for insurance claims ?

Saw it when I was at Woodside for the Cockleshell Heroes Commemoration. It was a huge smoke pall that's for sure.
