GET SORTED

Once again we have a big increase on the “Get Sorted” kerbside collection with 1137.66 tonnes collected in January, the biggest monthly total ever for dry recyclables. This is a daily average of 49.46 tonnes, itself a new record. To put it in context this is 39% up on January 2006.
Although Organic Waste collection was down slightly as is normal at this time of year, the reduction was not as much as anticipated due largely to the Christmas Tree collections. Civic Amenity Sites and bring sites were both up slightly and mini recycling centres on estates stayed fairly constant.
We collected a total of 1493.28 tonnes in the month, an average of 64.92 tonnes per day up by 34.28% on January 2006.
