Recycling rate is increased BY KELLY WICKHAM kelly.wickham@sussexpost.co.uk A SIX per cent rise in recycling in the city has been recorded in just two years. Since Chichester District Council launched its recycling campaign in 2016, the recycling rate has increased from 39 per cent to 45 per cent. THere has also been a significant
reduction in the amount of household waste, which has fallen by 11 per cent, which equates to 64kg of waste per household. “THis is fantastic news,” said Cllr Roger Barrow, cabinet member for resident services at the district council. “We want to say a huge thank you to our residents for making such a difference and we want to urge them to keep up the good work.
"Our aim is to recycle 50 per cent of waste by 2020 and with everyone’s continued support I think we can achieve this. “We’ve tried to make recycling easier for people and have run various initiatives across the district, and so hopefully people feel as though this has made a real difference. "We are very grateful to the local media, supermarkets and other partners who
have supported us in our efforts. “We also relaunched our garden recycling service. THe garden waste collected not only contributes to our recycling rate, but it is recycled locally into compost. THis has been a huge success. Customers receive a green wheeled bin, which is emptied every two weeks for less than £1 a week when paid by direct debit." See page three
