Every home in Britain will be required to sort their household rubbish into five separate bins under new recycling rules.
Every home in Britain will be required to sort their household rubbish into five separate bins under new recycling rules. The announcement was made by the Environment Department Minister Lord de Mauley, who says the new system must be implemented under European law.
Currently, around 100 local authorities operate weekly rubbish collections in which all waste is placed in one bin. Under the new rules, however, residents will be required to sort their rubbish into five categories and use five separate bins. The categories include plastics, metals, glass, papers and general waste materials.
The announcement comes as the amount of waste being recycled fell last year for the first time in 30 years. Around 43 per cent of waste is currently recycled, although the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs recently admitted that the figure also includes waste rejected by recycling facilities and shipped to landfill sites.
