Hundreds of thousands of tons of material dutifully put out for recycling is being secretly dumped in landfill sites by councils in Britain. Shocking new figures reveal that while some householders face stiff fines for breaching recycling laws, many councils are simply dumping huge quantities of the paper, glass and plastic they collect. In some areas one item in every eight put out for recycling ends up being sent for landfill or incinerated. Local authorities last night blamed residents for putting the wrong rubbish in the wrong bin or failing to clean the material they try to recycle.
