Landfill

Landfill

The Government has set the Council mandatory targets on how much waste can be sent to landfill. If these targets are not met then severe financial penalties will be imposed on the Council, which may in turn have an effect on council tax levels.

Sending all refuse to landfill is no longer an option; available space is running out and the impact on the environment is proven. By reducing the number of non-recyclable items purchased, reusing items and recycling everything possible using the Council's recycling facilities, everyone can make a difference.
