Mr Mustard: "Recycling - Will this little initiative really make much difference?"

Link to Mr Mustard

"A new campaign has been rolled out on the roads of Barnet, aimed at raising awareness of the economic benefits of recycling.

"Funded by 'Recycle for London' (RfL), new banners have been added to 10 of Barnet Council’s refuse collection trucks, highlighting how much money residents have saved over the course of the last year.

"... The recycling rate of Barnet isn't 'an excellent achievement'. Recycling 33% of waste against a possible 70% is a diabolical performance. In Barnet Council, it is normal to miss targets by such a wide margin and think it a reason to celebrate."
