England’s recycling rate hits 40.3%
England’s household recycling rate now stands at 40.3%, according to Defra’s latest quarterly figures.
The figure, which takes into account the proportion of household waste sent for recycling, composting or reuse between October 2009 and September 2010, shows a slight increase up from 39.7% in the previous financial year, April 2009 to March 2010.
The latest Defra quarterly figures indicate that the public’s enthusiasm for recycling seems to be increasing.
The data, which is based on information submitted by councils to the government’s WasteDataFlow system, also shows a continuing fall in the amount of household waste generated in England.
The generation of household waste continued to decrease between the 2009/10 year and the year October 2009 to September 2010, with a 1% reduction to 23.4 million tonnes.
Likewise, the amount of municipal waste sent to landfill in England has dropped to 45%, showing a decrease of 5% between the financial year 2009/10 and the year October 2009 to September 2010 to 11.9 million tonnes.
Final estimates for 2010/11 recycling figures will be published in November 2011.
