Recycling means that we don't throw so much waste into landfill
sites. Waste that goes into landfill sites causes pollution as it
rots down and we are rapidly running out of sites to dump our
waste.
Recycling saves energy and resources that would otherwise be
lost if they were just thrown away. The materials we collect
can be made into many different products - the possibilities are
endless.
It is becoming increasingly expensive to throw our waste into
landfill sites. Recycling our waste will help to keep costs
down and that's good news for our Council Tax.

We run 6 monthly promotional themes on particular materials to
help increase the amount that is being recycled. From time to
time we also run specific campaigns funded from outside
sources. We work closely with a number of partners to reduce
the amount we throw away in Bath and North East Somerset. For
