Recycling, rubbish and waste

Household waste is growing by approximately 3% every year and too much of it is disposed of in landfill sites. At present we landfill significant quantities of valuable material, (for example green waste, paper and plastic). It is simply not sustainable to continue wasting these resources. 

The Government's Waste Strategy 2000 for England and Wales sets targets to increase the recycling of household waste, and as a result we are finding new ways of collecting your rubbish for recycling.
