Recycling Household Waste: The Way Ahead

By Association Of Municipal Engineers

This report examines ways in which the Government's target can be achieved. It seeks to answer three essential questions: can 25% of household waste be collected in an acceptable form for recycling; is there the capacity within industry to recycle and market this amount of material; how much will it cost to meet the Government's target and who will pay? The book also gives an analysis of the potential for improving collection methods and expanding the market for recycled materials. It also gives practical experience from six recycling trials currently in progress in towns throughout the UK, detailing their methods, achievements and costs. It concludes with an analysis of the options for financing the recycling of 25% of household waste.
