Scottish recycling rates lower than reported
House Clearance Glasgow can report that Scottish recycling rates are well below those reported by the Accounts Commission for Scotland in March, according to research carried out by Audit Scotland. The recycling rate for household waste is believed to be just 3.8% compared to the 5.7% figure produced previously. This figure shows that Scotland probably has the lowest recycling rate in Europe, and recycles even less than England and Wales (c.8-9%). There are some success stories in Scotland: House Clearance Glasgow can report that Perth & Kinross has steadily increased its recycling rate to 12.9%, compensating for falling prices for glass and paper by collecting organic waste. Dundee showed that ‘deprived’ urban areas can also achieve relatively successful rates, at 8.1%. Fife however saw its rates drop from 8.1% in 1997/9 to just 1.8% last year due to declining markets for materials.
Recycling rises in England and Wales
The amount of municipal waste recovered or recycled in England and Wales rose to 17.3% for the year 2012/13 (compared to 12.7% in 1996/97), with household recycling rates rising from approximately 7% to 9.5%, and energy recovery increasing from 6% to 8%. Just under 5 million tonnes of municipal waste had some form of value recovered from it in 2012/13, up from 3.4m tonnes in 2010/11.
The Department of the Environment’s latest analysis of municipal waste arisings was released last month and is based on reports from local authorities, but is subject to revision. Current figures suggest that 28 million tonnes of municipal waste was generated last year, up from 26m tonnes in 2013/14. 90% of this waste was produced by households, accounting for 25.1m tonnes last year: equal to 25kg per household per week (1.3 tonnes/year).
House Clearance Glasgow notes that significant changes were reported on the waste collected. Last year, kerbside collections covered 40% of households, increasing the total amount of paper and board collected. Centralised composting schemes have expanded, mainly though the collection of green waste at civic amenity sites.
