<p>The Government is committed to increasing both the quantity and quality of waste
materials that are recycled and reducing the amount of waste sent to landfill.</p><p>The
Waste Infrastructure Delivery Programme was established to provide support to local
authorities to help accelerate the building of infrastructure needed to treat residual
waste and increase recycling, minimising waste going to landfill to help meet our
landfill diversion targets, which we reached in 2013.</p><p>One of the proposals in
our recent consultation ‘Consistency in household and business recycling collections
in England’ was for all collectors of waste to collect a core set of materials from
households and businesses. We believe that this will improve the opportunity for householders
to increase what they can recycle.</p><p>We are analysing the responses to the consultation
and will publish the Government’s response to it shortly.</p><p> </p>
