Recycling In favor
Monday, November 30th, 2009
Almost every Australian household (99 per cent) participated in some form of recycling or reusing of waste, according to report released by the Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS). However, nearly a quarter (23 per cent) of electronic equipment and more than half (51 per cent) of household appliances of disposed of in the 12 months prior to March 2009 were placed with the non-recycled garbage for kerbside collection. Paper/cardboard/newspapers were recycled or reused the most (95 per cent of households) followed by plastic bottles (94 per cent), glass (93 per cent) and plastic bags (90 per cent). Just over half (51 per cent) of Australian households recycled or reused kitchen or food waste.
