*Household Waste Recycling Sites (often referred to as the tip)

**Supermarkets, Bring sites etc. (often referred to as bottle banks)

 

We have met our recycling target of 18% by 2005, and are well under way to meeting our second target of 25% by 2007/8, but we want to do even better than this!

 

(note: the recycling targets include both the 'total recycled' and the 'waste composted' figures)
