Ways to improve recycling in the City

Conservatives are proposing a number of new recycling measures in the City which we will be putting forward at the Council budget meeting on 15th February.

These include piloting a range of initiatives to improve recycling rates in flats (which are currently only recycle around 8%), a free doorstep collection scheme for glass and trialling a commercial waste recycling service on Saturdays.

It isn't enough to simply reach Government targets. We need to be far more ambitious and cities like San Francisco show us the way.
