Increasing your own recycling and composting helps carbon reduction

Braintree District residents have always been enthusiastic about recycling and year on year our recycling rate increases. 

Our Recycling Rate target for 2010-11 is 53% and for 2011-12, 57%.  With your help we can achieve this together.

Recycling helps our environment and we can all benefit from doing our bit around the house, at work and during our leisure time.  The results of your efforts conserves natural resources, saves energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions - all of which helps to protect our environment and combat climate change.  The amount we recycled in the UK last year saved the same amount of carbon as taking 5 million cars off the road!

There are lots of ways you can reduce, reuse, recycle and compost – so if you are Green Hearted and want our District to be the Green Heart of Essex, take a look at the many, easy ways you can participate and be proud to be part of it!
