Recycling is blue

MEDWAY Council is stepping up its campaign to get residents to recycle their household waste.

As of January 25, the authority will no longer be providing black bags and will instead be distributing more blue recycling bags.

It is part of the “Think Blue, Not Black” campaign, which also aims to raise awareness about the amount of recyclable rubbish that ends up in landfills.

Nearly 70 per cent of rubbish currently sent to landfill sites could be recycled or composted.

Medway recycles more than 32 per cent of domestic waste, marginally above the national average of 32%, but needs to do more to meet targets to recycle and compost 40% of its waste by the year 2010/2011.
