WALES
ON 40% TRACK!
Wales
is on track to meet its 40% recycling and composting target by 2010 after reaching a 32% recycling rate, the Welsh Assembly has announced. With Powys, Conwy and Ceredigion singled out for praise for already reaching the 40% target it is anticipated that Wales as a country is progressing well to hitting the 40% target by 2009-10.
Quarterly figures published from the WasteDataflow database yesterday show that local authorities recycled and composted 30% of household waste in the third quarter of 2007-2008 (October - December) - 4.6% more than in the same period in 2006-07.
