Thank you to everyone for helping us recycle even more!! The new recycling service has helped us to increase the recycling rates across the borough of Rochdale. With your help we can recycle even more and reach our average target of 54% in 2016/2017.
More recycling means we spend less on waste disposal, helping us to protect other essential services.
