How Are We Doing In Calderdale

Total recycling by year from 1999 to 2008

Recycling rates have dramatically increased in Calderdale over the past ten years - and with the new service improvements from April 2009 these figures have increased further still to over 40% which is excellent news.

This means that tonnes of waste that previously went to landfill is now being recycled instead of contributing to climate change and other environmental problems.

*Note - official figures for 2009 will be updated here at the start of 2010.
