Welcome to the Recycle for Calderdale Website

The Recycle for Calderdale campaign aims to make people more aware of recycling and in paticular to encourage more people to use their household recycling schemes. We are doing this because Calderdale needs to increase recycling rates across the district and reduce waste going to landfill. This is part of the national RecycleNow campaign.
