Reduce waste, improve recycling and reduce landfill

We will reduce waste to landfill, assist people to recycle more and lead by example by cutting our own carbon emissions.

Our pledge

By 2013 we will have

  • Worked together to reach our recycling target of 57%
  • Completed the Exeter Waste to Energy Plant, producing enough energy to power 2,000 homes and saving 60,000 tonnes of waste from landfill each year
  • Reduced our carbon emissions by 2.1% per year
