Earlier this week Surrey County Council adoped a new Waste Plan to deal with all aspects of the 600,00 tonnes of municipal waste produced each year in Surrey.
Currently around 400,00 tonnes of this waste currently goes to landfill. The County hopes that by adopting the Waste Plan this figure will be much reduced and that by 2025 60% of all waste will be recycled. While in the long term it would be good to get the figure of waste recycled higher (or find some alternative to landfill) this looks to be an excellent start by the County.
