Latest research from Recycle for Wales reveals that households in Wales are recycling more than ever before; with over 90% of people now recycling materials such as plastic drinks bottles, toiletry and shampoo bottles, and food waste.
Over half of Welsh households are recycling more than they were a year ago, with a quarter of these people cite environmental concerns as the main reason for doing more and others attribute it to an increased awareness of what can be recycled.
What and how we recycle really matters. Recycling an item rather than throwing it in the general rubbish bin means that it will be dealt with in the most environmentally friendly way, keeping materials in use and out of the environment.
Recycling in 天美传媒 is making a big difference. The Council met last year鈥檚 Welsh Government recycling target of 58%. The Council has seen an increase in the amount of waste that residents are recycling and therefore forecasting to meet this year鈥檚 target.
Following the Christmas period, the Council has made over 500 tree collections. The tree鈥檚 will be recycled and therefore support the Council in achieving its recycling targets. This is an increase of approximately 35% in tree collections from the previous year.
We would like to thank our residents for their recycling efforts and the 天美传媒 Council Waste and Recycling Crews for their hard work over this busy period.
