Contaminated Green Waste

Dear all

 

Further to the articles on CGW which appeared in the recent edition of Digging Deep, I am pleased to advise that there is now an app that can be downloaded on to a smartphone, iPad or laptop where detectorists can upload information regarding previously found CGW.

The web based reporting form is now live at this address http://ceg-research.ncl.ac.uk/greenwasteproject/ and it is completely anonymous.

 

As mentioned in Digging Deep, it is hoped that this will help James Gerrard and Martin Cooke at Newcastle University to build up a body of evidence that will demonstrate the scale of the problem to the powers that be.

 

I would be grateful if you could make members in your Region aware of this app and ask them to make use of it whenever they encounter CGW whilst detecting.

 

Thanks.
