Recycling
- Waste production statistics indicate that in 2007, 65 million tonnes of waste went to landfill.
- At 2007 rates, there are only six and a half years of non-hazardous landfill space available in England & Wales
- There are currently no hazardous waste landfill sites operating in WalesIn 2007, 65 million tonnes of waste were landfilledOnly 5 million tonnes were incinerated
Given the advent of the Landfill Tax in 1996, currently levied at £24.00 per tonne and set to increase by £8.00 per tonne each year thereafter until at least 2011, at which point Landfill Tax would reach £58.00 per tonne, it pays to recycle NOW!
Easily recycled materials include cardboard & paper, plastics, metals and timber, with new technologies developing to recover and recycle many different waste streams.
