Somerset recycling week returns on Saturday 16 September

 

Keep your eyes peeled during Somerset Recycling Week as we publish the latest recycling tracker. We follow every item of waste that’s collected here in Somerset (from your kerbside and at the recycling site) so you can be assured that we are responsibly processing it. We share where your waste goes, the companies involved and its likely use as new packaging and products.

Somerset Waste Partnership was the first local authority to publish this information in 2008, now as Somerset Council we’ll continue to do this each year.

While Somerset has an impressive recycling rate, thanks to our residents and the recycle more scheme, we know there is always more that can be done.

During recycling week we’ll be taking a look around the home and share how different items can be recycled.

We’d like you to get involved to – please do share your tips during the week on our Facebook page.
