COPELAND Council’s recycling percentage have reached over 41%. And they have branded their refused and recycling vehicles newly to help drive up the rates even further.
According to Janice Carrol, the waste services manager for Copeland Council, “We’ve changed the panels on our waste vehicles to give a fresh, clear message about the importance of recycling and minimising waste.”
“As we wanted the message to be as relevant as possible, we’ve used our own employees and their families in the striking designs. Hopefully, this will help us raise our recycling rate even further.”
Between April 2009 and March 2010 over 41 percent of all waste collected by the
authority was recycled. Copeland aims to increase this figure to 45 per cent by the end of the current financial year. The council has seen the amount of waste sent for landfill disposal decrease by 2000 tones. This is the equivalent of around 200 full refuse-vehicle loads. It gathers paper, glass and cans for recycling from the curbside of over 90 per cent of households in the borough.
It also runs recycling points in towns and villages throughout Copeland.
