Recycle

Recycling reduces the demand for raw materials. By recovering materials from old products we are removing or reducing the need to extract yet more raw materials from the earth.

Landfill – what a waste
Around 1.8 million tonnes of municipal waste was collected by local authorities in Wales during 2006/07.

Where does it all go?

27.6% is recycled or composted
Less than 1% is used to recover heat and power
Over 68% is still landfilled – it is buried in the ground. Dealing with our rubbish in this way is not sustainable because it wastes energy and materials, and land is running out.
