How Are We Doing In Calderdale

Total recycling by year from 1999 to 2008

As shown in the graph above, recycling rates have dramatically increased in Calderdale over the past ten years.  We are currently recycling around 25% of our household waste, and with the service imporvements that will soon be in place, this trend is set to continue.

Our target is to reach 40% recycling in just 2 years (2010), so there's still more to do if we are to meet our ambitious goal.
