Published: 20/08/2018

COPELAND'S new recycling scheme has prompted a huge reduction in the amount of 'residual' waste - that's the non-recycled waste that residents put into their black wheeled bin.

During the first quarter of 2017/18 (April, May and June) 4,483 tonnes of residual waste were sent for processing. In the same period this year, just 4,221 tonnes were collected. That's an impressive reduction of 262 tonnes, or 14,556 average wheelie bins full!
