RECYCLE
Recycling is an excellent way of saving energy and conserving the environment.
UK households produced 30.5 million tonnes of waste in 2003/04, of which 17% was collected for recycling. There is still a great deal of waste which could be recycled that ends up in landfill sites which is harmful to the environment.
We can recycle:
Aluminium
24 million tonnes of aluminium is produced annually, 51,000 tonnes of which ends up as packaging in the UK.
Glass
Glass is 100% recyclable and can be used again and again.
