"ALL FOUR local authorities in Tayside and Fife have beaten the national average for recycling, new figures show. Between April 2007 and March this year, councils across Scotland recycled 31.7% of the 3.4 million tonnes of waste collected, an annual rise of 3.3%. The total municipal waste produced showed no change on the previous year. Environment secretary Richard Lochhead described that as a “great leap forward” although the Scottish Environment Protection Agency (SEPA) said more effort was needed to hit the 40% target by 2010. Fife had one of the best records—39.1% of rubbish recycled—while Perth and Kinross was on 35.9% and Angus on 34.7%. Dundee recycled 33.0%, the highest figure of the big four cities."
Fife leads the way yet again. Carnegie is just off to the recycling point.
