YOUR RECYCLING IS SECRETLY DUMPED

 

 

 

HUNDREDS of thousands of tons of material dutifully put out for recycling is being secretly dumped in landfill sites by councils in Britain.

 

Shocking new figures reveal that while some householders face stiff fines for breaching recycling laws, many councils are simply dumping huge quantities of the paper, glass and plastic they collect.

 

 

In some areas one item in every eight put out for recycling ends up being sent for landfill or incinerated.

its not secretly dumped it all goes to the same place.... they just use different lorries to pick it up in ... apparently it is to expensive to have a separate recycle dump.

typical government practice only tell us half a story..

local authorities last night blamed residents for putting the wrong rubbish in the wrong bin or failing to clean the material they try to recycle.

 

 

If recycling is “contaminated”, the bags are simply dumped anyway.

 

What do you expect them to do when idiots mix the waste up, it would have to be sorted by hand at a huge cost to enable it to then be recycled if it's mixed up.

Don't forget the green glass problem.

People who dutifully recycle their glass into the correct colours for recycling should know that the market for green glass is completely saturated and most of it goes into landfill. All the other colours are wanted though.
