Introduction N-O Thank you very much. Angus Council is doing really well at recycling. We are recycling and composting almost 36% of all household waste, a fantastic achievement! However there is still more to do. Scotland has new challenging recycling targets; we need to recycle and compost 50% of all waste we collect by 2013 and 70% by 2025. What this means is we need to reduce, reuse and recycle more materials more often. Increasing the amount of waste that we reduce, reuse and recycle will reduce the amount of waste that has to be landfilled. Landfilling waste uses up valuable space, damages the environment and wastes resources that could have been recycled. 3 The waste hierarchy ranks the different ways in which waste is disposed of in order of sustainability, or relative environmental benefits. The most sustainable and environmentally-friendly option is to reduce the amount of waste produced in the first place. However, we also need to start reusing items and increasing the amount of things that we recycle. This guide explains all you need to know about how to reduce, reuse and recycle in Angus. Thank you for helping us to reduce, reuse and recycle more materials more often.
