WASTE MANAGEMENT
An easy guide
to recycling
Recycling is crucial to the future health of our planet, and with
the UK’s overall recycling rates for everyday waste still below
Europe’s target of fifty per cent, taking better care of our
environment is now more important than ever.
Not only does recycling save
energy and conserve natural
resources, it also greatly reduces
the amount of landfill produced.
However, the recycling process
is not all that easy to follow –
with so many types of materials
and different rules from different
councils, it’s hard to remember
what goes where. This
uncertainty means that many
homes in the UK are putting at
least one recyclable item in the
general rubbish, dramatically
increasing the amount of waste
we produce as a nation.
Recycling at home should be
quick and simple. The simple
tips below will help you waste
less and recycle more.
