Why has Mid Beds changed the way waste is collected?
Increasing recycling helps manage waste sensibly and reduces environmental problems for future generations. National and European targets have been set to reduce the amount of waste being landfilled and every council has been given their own recycling targets to help meet these. Reducing waste has the environmental benefit of reducing the amount of vehicles collecting and transporting our waste and reduces pollution and the damage done to our highways. Collecting waste more efficiently also controls the costs of disposing of waste which means lower council tax.
