What will I find?
District Council’s have undertaken a number of waste surveys over the last five years. The surveys are completed over a one week period at the landfill sites. These surveys involve weighing vehicles, classing wastes into different categories, determining the source of the waste, and (the best part of the job) opening rubbish bags and sorting waste into categories.
