Recycling in Devon: Don't let Devon go to waste

Most of our rubbish is buried in massive landfill sites. The problem is we don’t have enough facilities to cope with the ever-increasing amount of rubbish.

WE CAN’T GO ON LIKE THIS!

In Devon we throw away over 300,000 tonnes of rubbish every year. That’s enough to cover a football pitch with rubbish more than 400 metres high. We’ve got to face up to the fact that we can’t just keep burying our rubbish and hoping it will go away. It won’t.

Did you know that every plastic bag buried in landfill takes 500 years to decay? And we use over 150 million plastic bags each week!

You can make a difference if you ethink your Rubbish and Recycle!
