A project which has seen recycling rates more than triple in part of Derby is to be extended. The Rethink Rubbish idea involves householders being given different containers to handle various different types of waste.
People in Chellaston and Shelton Lock recycled 43% of waste compared to just 12% for the 12 months before.
Now six other areas of Derby are taking up the scheme in the hope it will prove equally successful.
Positive attitude
City councillor Lucy Care felt there were good reasons for it being popular.
She said: "Nearly everyone follows the leaflets we deliver and there is no problem.
"It means that people can be really positive about recycling, it's no longer at matter of filing the car up when you go to he supermarket.
"You don't have to make a special journey you can do it there from your own house."
