South Oxfordshire District Council dubbed best at recycling
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs (Defra) has released a report analysing the amount of waste councils across England recycle.
The study by Enviro Homes Renewables looked at Defra’s 2022-23 data which shows the percentage of waste in each council that is sent for reuse, recycling, or composting.
At the top of the list was South Oxfordshire District Council with 61.6 per cent of all waste recycled.
Three Rivers District Council came in close second place on the list with 61.5 per cent of household waste recycled.
According to the report, Stockport Council recycles the most waste of any local authority in the North.
Ross Jones, director of Enviro Homes Renewables, said the data makes it clear that “some councils do more than others" in terms of keeping waste to a minimum.
He said: “There are ways individuals can minimise their household waste by a lot, but it's a group effort at the end of the day to ensure that this makes a difference.”
