The Average Household Bin

Take a look at the bin below and see how much of the contents can be recycled.

Compare this to how much you currently recycle.

Scotland's recycling rate is getting better, but could be improved.

The Scottish Government, local authorities and many other organisations such as Changeworks are trying to help people reduce waste and recycle more.

Increasing the number of recycling points and providing kerbside collections to houses are just some of the ways in which recycling is being increased.
