A typical resident of Melton cuts 4% off their domestic carbon footprint by recycling. A dedicated green resident who recycles and composts everything possible could achieve a saving of over 9%, and this can be reduced even further by cutting down on the items and packaging we consume.

Across Melton Borough we are already saving almost 6,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year by recycling and composting rather than landfilling all our waste, and this saving could be almost doubled.

Of course Verdant has a role to play as the company that collects your waste. We are continually looking at the ways we work and using the latest technologies to lower the impact we are having. Watch this space for more news on the progress we’re making, and carry on recycling.
