However, landfills still represent an important source of pollution that affects the environment and human beings.

If you have waste that you don’t know how to classify, contact your nearest recycling center.

The percentage that is recycled in the UK so far is approximately 45% of the waste generated.
The latest report from the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) indicates that the waste generated in British homes amounts to approximately 26 million tonnes of waste each year, of which only 12 million are recycled. The other 14 million tons end up in landfills.
