Oldham Council collects around 90,000 tonnes of rubbish from homes across Oldham and is committed to reducing this amount by recycling as much of it as possible.
We produce more waste now than ever before. In fact the average Oldham household creates the equivalent weight of a small car in rubbish every year!
This rubbish is buried in holes in the ground called landfill sites where it rots over many years, polluting our environment today and for generations to come. Our waste cannot continue to be disposed of like this - we need to start making less rubbish.
