WHY?

♦ Not sustainable to keep putting rubbish in holes in the ground – we are running out of holes

♦ Landfill sites cause methane gas emissions and pollution

♦ Statutory recycling targets were set for each local authority. SDDC’s last set target was 21% by 2005/06. SDDC met this target by reaching 24% in 2004/05. SDDC are currently recycling/composting 34% of its waste.
