One of our #HuntsWasteBusters looks at what makes up our landfilled waste. In 2020, Huntingdonshire residents sent over 29,000 tonnes of waste to the landfill. Much of this could have been di- rected elsewhere. Recycling, reusing and composting are the keys to cutting our waste footprint. In 2019 the council completed a waste analysis. They found that over 70% of the contents could have avoided the land- fill. Our blue bins can take a lot more items than you might expect and the council can make compost from our green bin waste. Many soft plastics can now be recycled at larger supermarkets. Our Household Waste Recycling Centres ac- cept a range of materials from paint tins to small electricals. Terracycle schemes also offer local drop - off points to recy- cle a wide variety of items. The most important change you can make in 2022 is to tackle your food waste. Keep a bucket or caddy near your kitchen bin so it's easy to collect your food scraps, kitchen roll and tea bags. Add this to your green bin with your gar- den waste. Huntingdonshire is already leading the way on waste reduc- tion. We achieved the 33rd highest recycling rate across all 317 English councils in 2019/20.
