Technical information

Recycling and composting are easy ways to gain points for the Code for Sustainable Homes requirements.

The Government has set a commitment of a ‘zero waste economy’ and currently 40% of domestic waste is diverted from landfill and recycled.

Your local council encourages you to recycle by providing bins for general waste, newspapers, magazines and glass.

Hints and Tips

Ensure adequate space internally and externally for recyclable waste bins.

Ensure all recycled materials are put in the correct bin otherwise they will not be collected.

Composting is a good way to reduce waste and it will add to the Code for Sustainable Homes credits.
