Waste Management and Recycling

Recycle

If you can’t reduce or reuse an item, can it be recycled or, if it is organic material like grass cuttings or food scrapings, composted? Recycling means using valuable raw materials like glass, paper, tin and aluminium over and over again so we don’t always have to make them from scratch.

Recycle your glass jars, bottles, aluminium cans, newspapers, plastic bottles, tin cans and clothes

Benefits of recycling include:

Cutting down the amount of material we use
Reducing transport movements and air pollution
Landfilling less of our waste
Reducing energy consumption from making new materials
Creating new jobs from recycling initiatives
Encouraging people and businesses to take more responsibility for the waste they produce
Improving competitiveness as businesses use their materials more efficiently
