Get latest issue shine india monthly magazine published this article page no 18 the european union (eu) has recently ordered the citizens of the united kingdom to roughly double their recycling rates by 2008. governments across the european union and america have announced plans to require more recycling. unless the uk hits these targets local council tax bills across the uk will soar unless local authorities hit their recycling targets to enable the uk to hit their targets set by the eu. the uk government already charges tax for dumping waste in landfill sites to encourage us to recycle more and this tax is due to increase.this will punish local councils which continue to use landfills and council tax payers will pay the price for poor performance by not recycling themselves or by not having the facilities to do this. its therefore cheaper to recycle then to dump in the landfill sites. the uk currently recycles 22 per cent of its household waste while some other eu countries recycle more than half. the uk proposes cutting the amount of waste put into landfill sites from 72 per cent today to 25 per cent by 2020 shine india monthly magazine onlineshine india monthly magazine subscription.
