I have recently moved to York and am amazed at the lack of recycling opportunities that there are in the city and in South Bank in particular.

Previously I lived in Bristol where a successful kerb-side collection scheme operated. This made it a great deal easier for everyone to recycle a large amount of their waste, something we all need to be far more aware of. There is currently much discussion about the way rubbish is being collected in the city, so now is a good time to consider not only the mechanics of rubbish collection but how to optimise the amount recycled.
