Recycling Soars in Lib Dem run Waverley

Lib Dem Press Release, January 4th

LIberal Democrats are claiming that recycling levels are at a record-high in Waverley thanks to the Lib Dem led Council. The percentage of recycled waste has risen to 40%, up from 22% last year putting Waverley among the best performing councils in the country. Nearly three quarter's of the borough's residents now recycle, up by half on last year.
