commentsEvery home in the country will have to cope with compulsory rubbish
recycling schemes by next year, according to papers released by ministers
yesterday.Instructions prepared for councils have revealed a move to bring in
separate collections of paper, metal, plastic and glass in order to meet
recycling targets set by Brussels.This will mean that many homes will need more
bins and any local councils which have clung to traditional weekly bin rounds –
there are thought to be around 100 in England and Wales – will have to
establish compulsory recycling systems.+2Ministers have laid out plans for all
households to have multiple recycling systems for glass, paper and
metalAlthough some of the materials can be collected in the same bins,
documents prepared by the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs
(Defra) explain that this can rarely be done for glass – and claim that in
other cases separate bins will often prove ‘necessary’.The push for multi-bin
rubbish collection systems follows new figures which show that the amount of
household refuse successfully sent for recycling is now going down rather than
up. More...The medical experts who refuse to use low-energy lightbulbs in their

rubbish collectors clean up as fortnightly collections leave household bins
overflowingThe statistics, which were released yesterday by Defra, show that in
September last year the recycling rate of waste from households was 43.9 per
cent – down from 44.1 per cent the year before.A spokesman for Defra said: ‘We
are working to ensure we meet an EU target to recycle 50 per cent of household
waste.+2Figures show recycling in the UK has gone down rather than up despite
aims to recycle 50 per cent of waste‘Everyone has a role to play and we want
local authorities working with waste management companies to make it as easy
for people to recycle as possible.’But Doretta Cocks, a spokesman for the
Campaign for Weekly Waste Collections, said: ‘The Government has been going in
the wrong direction. They are going to struggle to meet the target.‘People are
resentful. A lot of people don’t bother to recycle properly now. They say that
if the council isn’t bothered to collect the rubbish once a week, then I’m not
bothered about recycling properly.’
