The Dorset Reduction and Recycling Group (DRRG) brings together all the local authorities in Dorset, working together to promote waste reduction and recycling across the county.

The inside story

Dorset County Council is putting forward proposals to develop an integrated waste management centre in Bridport.

Have you ever wondered just what happens to the materials you recycle, where they go and what they become in their new life?

In Dorset we produce over 220,000 tonnes of household waste every year. That is about half a tonne, or half a car of household waste per person - the annual increase alone would cover a football pitch 3 feet deep.

Aerosols, like empty deodorant, hair spray, air freshener and furniture polish cans can all be recycled as part of residents' kerbside collections.

Garden waste can be composted at home. Alternatively, you can have it collected by your district/borough council or take it to your local household recycling centre.

Information to help you reduce the amount of waste that you dispose of.

Recycling at home is really simple and it is something that everyone can do. Recycling means that less waste is sent to landfill and materials can be made into new products more than once.

Dorset residents can now recycle their unwanted small electrical items more easily at new recycling banks.
