Recycling Strategies
East Ayrshire Council is committed to managing waste responsibly. This approach includes:
- Minimising the generation of waste products
- Seeking added value from wastes where we can
- Promoting safe recovery of hazardous waste and reviewing safe disposal methods for non-hazardous waste
It is clear that individuals and businesses alike need to reduce , reuse and recycle waste wherever possible, leaving disposal as the last option.
The biggest change in the way East Ayrshire's waste is managed has been the introduction of the Kerbside Recycling Service . Implemented over a 2 year period from spring 2004 to autumn 2005, this new service enables households to recycle from home.
Government targets require us to be recycling 25% of all waste collected by the Council by 2006 and 30% of all waste by 2008.
