Leeds, leading UK in recycling
2018 CE • UK
The city of Leeds is leading the United Kingdom in its recycling programs . . . "around 40 percent of its waste is diverted from landfill. Its impressive approach to recycling includes the ‘Leeds by Example’ scheme", launched in 2018, "which has placed over 180 on-street recycling points across the city, which have almost tripled recycling rates in the city centre to 49 percent. The scheme represents the UK’s biggest effort to improve the level of food and drink packaging recycling rates and sets an example which other UK cities hope to emulate."
