According to the latest figures published by The Department of Food and Rural Affairs, (Defra) householders in the county of Suffolk have been shown to have been the best recyclers in Britain.

Recycling rates in Suffolk are over the national average by 7% with 44.5% of households sending their waste to be recycled or reused. The figures also showed that every person in Suffolk collects over 310kg of waste each putting them in the top 10 for individual waste collection too.

These figures are very encouraging and show that we are on our way to becoming a zero waste nation. Residents of Suffolk should be congratulated for their efforts.

According to the figures, London is only recycling 29.2% of waste.
