Why we Recycle Your Waste

• Materials that can be recycled should not now be landfilled allowing the capacity to be extended for the island site.
  
• We sort the collected material and bale it ready for onward transport to the recyclers.
  
• By sorting the materials we increase the market value and aim to achieve the maximum return.
  
• Textiles can include nearly new clothes that are sold in the reuse shop.
  
• Bio-Diesel is an environmentally sound way of taking a waste material & reusing it. Both the Re-JIG van and forklift run on 100% Bio-Diesel.

The recycling target for 2007: 80+ tonnes Recycled. We achieved 56.2 tonnes in 2006.
