Whilst this is a commendable achievement we can see that there is still much to do if we are to continue these trends and meet the targets of 2019/20 and beyond.
A financial penalty of £200/tonne is incurred if the Council fails its recycling targets. This would have severe implications for the Council.
To fail the recycling target by just 1% would equate to approximately 700 tonnes.
The financial penalty incurred could be:
700 tonnes x £200/tonne = £140,000
