WELL DONE! In the first twelve months of our new kerbside recycling scheme together we have achieved a recycling and composting rate of over 50% - nearly double the rate of the previous year!

The great improvement in recycling means that the waste we send to landfill has been reduced by around 33%. This is a fantastic achievement, thank you for all your hard work and let's keep it up!

The figures for the previous years are as follows:

* 2007/08 28.8%

* 2006/07 25.0%

* 2005/06 25.0%

* 2004/05 21.43%

* 2003/04 18.58%
