- We have a scheme to recycle in our buildings, to reduce the amount of office waste sent to landfill.
- We recycle glass, tins, cans, plastic bottles, all forms of paper, cardboard in many of our buildings.
- Paper is recycled in most schools and libraries.
- We reuse a large amount of our highways waste, such as road planings. This is used to improve footpaths across the district.
- Our markets compost all butchers waste. They also have plans to collect other food waste to compost.
- Our parks and gardens compost organic waste, such as cuttings and leaves. This is then used in the service, as soil improver.
We commit to:
- Make sure that we comply with all that we are able to do to improve the environment.
- Improve reuse and recycling performance.
