Recycling

14.21 As part of the Government’s strategy the aim is to develop new and stronger markets for the re-use and use of recycled materials, as well as providing more facilities. There is a need for more single material waste streams including the separation and sorting at source, more reprocessing capacity and the greater use of secondary or recycled materials. Calderdale's recycling performance in the past has been below 5%, so to achieve the targets to be set by Central Government, Calderdale’s recycling target for 2003/4 will be 10% (approximately 8,000 tonnes at the current rate of waste arisings). The Council has agreed to exceed the statutory minimum of 18% by an additional 2% to 20% that should be recycled by 2005/6 (17,400 tonnes at the current rate of household waste arisings).

14.22 Household waste centres fulfill an important function in enabling the public to dispose of bulky household goods, garden waste and other recyclable wastes. There are five such centres in Calderdale at Elland, Brighouse, Sowerby Bridge, Halifax and Todmorden, and these are shown on the Proposals Map. Their continued use will be safeguarded as part of the Council's drive to reduce waste going to landfill.
