North East Lincolnshire Council is celebrating after making it through September without sending any waste to landfill.

Most of North East Lincolnshire’s household waste is either recycled or used to generate electricity at a local Energy from Waste Plant. Less than 5% generally goes to landfill.

In September, the Council and its waste management contractor Newlincs sent no waste to landfill – all household waste was either recycled or recovered to generate energy.

Cllr Stewart Swinburn, the council’s portfolio holder for Environment and Transport, said: ‘It’s fantastic to see more and more people in North East Lincolnshire are recycling.

‘Recycling is an easy way to help the environment and prolong the lives of materials such as aluminium, plastics and paper.

‘By sorting recycling at home, households are creating a much better-quality product for reprocessing.

‘People tell us that recycling is very important to them and I’m grateful to everyone who makes the effort to sort their recycling at home.’
