The county council say the government stats don’t tell the full story Lincolnshire
New government recycling targets which show Lincolnshire underperforming have been described as ‘frustrating’ by the county council leadership.
However, the council says its waste management is on track, and these figures don’t show the success they had. “The question is, are we reporting targets for ourselves or the government? It’s frustrating. What really matters is how much of our waste going to landfill, which is 4.47%,” he said.“The government wants to pretend that energy from waste isn’t recycling because of pressure from the green lobby, when in fact it is.”
“Indicators can appear to be contradictory. If less waste is being taken to HWRCs, we will never hit that target but it is a good sign because there is less waste in the system.
