Every household in the North East produces on average a tonne of waste a year and this is increasing

Most rubbish goes to landfill sites but we cannot go on doing this forever. Much of what we throw away can be recycled

We are rapidly running out of resources and burying ourselves in rubbish. Recycling is vital if not for ourselves then for future generations

The Council are providing households in the City with a recycling box and we want you to do your bit by putting your paper, glass and cans in your recycling box and not in your wheeled bin.
