North Somerset Best in the West for recycling
It's official: North Somerset residents are the best in the South West - and the seventh-best in England - for recycling! The latest government figures for 2020/2021 show that 60.4% of household waste is recycled - ranking North Somerset the best in the region and up two places to seventh-best in the whole of England.
