Recycling – where an item or waste material undergoes some kind of re-processing to make it into something new.

We are currently recycling 54.40% of our waste - the average in England is 33.9%, so we're well ahead.

We have been acknowledged as the top Shire County for recycling in the country and our partnership has been awarded Beacon Council Status for waste management and recycling, thanks to the brilliant efforts of our residents.
See external links for more awards we have received.

We would like to see residents keep up the good work and recycle more so we can exceed the 50.54% recycling rate we achieved for 2007/08.

The City and District Councils provide kerbside collection for household waste and also recycling banks at supermarkets and village halls.

Cambridgeshire County Council has 9 Recycling Centres and runs awareness campaigns all year round to encourage residents to recycle more!
