The composition analysis highlights the following issues:-
• Up to 21.2% of the waste collected through the grey bin service can be
recycled or composted through full use of the existing kerbside recycling
collection services.
• Up to 7.8% of the waste collected through the grey bin service can be
recycled or composted through full use of the facilities provided at
Household and/or Neighbourhood Recycling Centre’s.
• Up to 38.4% of the waste collected through the grey bin service can be
recycled or composted but will require improvements to the existing
services and the introduction of additional services.
• 32.6% of the waste collected cannot be diverted from the residual stream.
4.5.2 Household Waste Recycling Centres
Analysis of the waste collected from the residual waste skips was
undertaken from the Largs site to inform refurbishment works. Whilst
this information will not be consistent with the other HWRC’s it does
provide an indication of the main waste types received. Table 4.4
