Recent data released confirms that Trafford remains the highest performing metropolitan authority for recycling in the country with a recycling rate of 61.3% for 2016/17. This makes the borough the only local authority in Greater Manchester and the wider North West region to be placed in the top ten nationally and is a vindication of the policies pursued by Trafford Conservatives to enhance recycling options, retain non-statutory collection of other recyclable waste and improve education and understanding of the benefits of recycling with our local population.

In a further commitment to enhancing our town centre environment and parks, this administration is investing in 300 new trio-recycling bins for installation across the borough and is seeking to further increase the number of green flag parks in Trafford this year.

Council places on record its thanks and appreciation to One Trafford Partnership staff, volunteers and council officers for their ongoing efforts to help keep Trafford clean, green and enjoyable for all of our residents.
