    Wales "well ahead in UK", 2nd in Europe, 3rd in the world in recycling

    Pretty cool.

    Keep recycling!!

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-41037531


    A target for 64% of waste to be recycled in Wales by 2019/20 has been met four years early.
    Provisional data for the 12 months to March 2017 revealed an increase of 4% on the previous year's recycling rate of 60%.

    Wales is well ahead of the rest of the UK, second in Europe and third in world recycling league tables.
    Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths said the statistics made for "extremely satisfying reading".


    The figures showed all but one local authority - Blaenau Gwent - met the current 2016-17 target.
