Bumper festive season for Copeland recyclers

Published: 13/01/2020

COPELAND residents have pulled out all the stops to recycle in the recent holidays.

Over Christmas and new year, the average amount collected each week was 71 tonnes. This compares to an average of 65 tonnes over the rest of the year.

The increased card, paper, glass, plastic and metal created by the festive season is equivalent to an extra three lorry loads each week.

On the Saturday and Sunday between Christmas and new year - the team's busiest weekend - an impressive 40 tonnes were collected.

Expenditure over £500 December 2019
