Why reuse and recycle?
By reusing or recycling we are:
- Contributing to the conservation of natural resources.
- Saving energy.
- Helping to protect the environment.
- Reducing landfill.
Our priorities
- To ensure that we reuse rather than recycle.
- To recycle rather than incinerate for energy recovery.
- To recover energy rather than just burn or send to landfill.
- By applying the principles of the waste hierarchy we will ensure that we do not waste valuable resources.
We will also reduce our impact on the environment by minimising the carbon emissions associated with both disposing of old products and obtaining new ones.

Our progress
- In 2011-2012 we diverted a considerable amount of waste from landfill which is now being sent for energy recovery.
- Although this is an improvement it would be good to see more items being recycled or reused.
- Please give some thought to how you dispose of your waste to ensure that we continue to build on this success.
