But according to data, over 26,000 tonnes of recyclable waste can be found in Surrey’s rubbish bins.

For local councils and the tax payer, recycling makes financial sense because it costs less to recycle waste than it does to dispose of it as rubbish. It’s also better for the environment as recycling generates less carbon dioxide than rubbish disposal. familiesonline.co.uk
