Thanks to your help, the recycling rate across Bedfordshire has increased from 5% in 2000/01 to 40% in 2008/09. We have some way to go to reach our next target of 50% recycling by 2011 but we know that with so many dedicated recyclers we can all make a difference by recycling more and more often. Together we can do it!

To help, we are pleased to announce that we are now adding more items to the recycling collection scheme. Starting on the 12th January 2009 residents in Bedfordshire will be able to add the new items to their existing collection (see below). You won't have to separate the recycling or do anything other than add these new items to your current collection bin or bag.
