Richmondshire District Council
operates a wide range of recycling and waste reduction schemes. It
encourages its residents to participate in all initiatives in order
to help the Council reach statutory government recycling
targets.
On average, every home in
Richmondshire produces a tonne of rubbish each year. Most of this
rubbish is buried in a landfill site and as it breaks down it
releases substances that are harmful to the environment.
The government wants to reduce the use
of landfill sites and has set tough targets for councils to meet.
In Richmondshire we recycled 42% of our waste in 2009/2010. With
your help, the Council is confident that this can be exceeded.
Please check these pages regularly to
find out what you can do, and to keep up to date on recycling
schemes and other initiatives being implemented.
