Recycling and waste collection service changes are taking place to ensure the councils meet new government ‘Simpler Recycling’ legislation – known locally as Better Recycling.
The policy requires all councils to:
• provide weekly food waste collections
• collect a core list of recyclable items
• collect fibre recyclables (e.g. paper and cardboard) separately
• provide weekly food waste collections
• collect a core list of recyclable items
• collect fibre recyclables (e.g. paper and cardboard) separately
This will make sure the same items are collected for recycling no matter where in the country you live. Therefore, helping more people to recycle and boost national recycling rates. Recycle more, waste less!
