Recycle for Hampshire

• Hampshire residents produce nearly 900,000 tonnes of household rubbish each year, equivalent in weight to almost 6 Queen Mary 2s.
• Through kerbside collection and other recycling services across the county, nearly 28% of this is recycled.
•  Although this is third best in the country, we still want to do more and improve that recycling rate to between 40 and 50% an ambitious target which will involve recycling or composting up to half a million tonnes of material every year.                

 

If we are to achieve this, we must have the support of the people who live in Hampshire. Many residents are keen recyclers already, and now that 95% of households have access to a kerbside recycling service we need to convince more people to make recycling part of their everyday behaviour and recycle more materials, more often.
