Reduce-Reuse-Recycle

 

In Highland recycling and composting reached 32% in December 2008 though Lochaber has lagged behind in the past partly due to lack of kerbside collection. In 2007-08 Lochaber stood at 22.2%. This means less and less waste is going to landfill.  This campaign is being encouraged under The Highland Council’s

 

 
 
 
 
 
With a little forethought and planning it is now possible for each household in Lochaber to reduce the amount of material sent to landfill by even more.  All the rubbish we discard has a value, and the highest prices are paid for good quality, cleaned, sorted materials that are easy to recycle. Source separation by us, the public, is essential for any scheme to work well and the community can benefit by earning income from our rubbish.  That said, the Highlands has a very good reputation for high quality recycling.
