About [Edit]
The Recycle for Cornwall campaign has been developed to raise public awareness of recycling and to provide consumers with a compelling reason to recycle.
In Cornwall we produce 291,387 tonnes of waste a year. Approximately 15% of this waste is recycled and 8% is composted. That leaves 225,635 tonnes that still goes to landfill, or 77%. Landfill space is running out in Cornwall and although recycling rates are on the increase, we are still producing more waste each year, by approximately 3%. Therefore landfill is not a sustainable option in the long-term.
96% of Cornwall is now covered by a kerbside collection which enables residents to leave out a variety of recyclable materials for regular collection. This service is also supported by bring bank facilities and civic amenity sites meaning recycling has never been easier! There are also a range of organisations across the county and further afield that can help people to recycle their waste, or minimise it in the first place.
