Avoid Landfill Tax by recycling, says Slingsby

摘要

Workplace equipment supplier Slingsby is reminding commercial organisations that Landfill Tax has increased by ￡8 per tonne, meaning it now costs ￡64 for every tonne of waste sent to landfill. Lee Wright, marketing director of Slingsby, which supplies more than 35,000 products across all industries, says: "The idea of Landfill Tax is to encourage waste producers to reduce what they send to landfill by financially punishing them. In 1998 it was just ￡7 per tonne, but it's now rising by ￡8 every year, so it's impossible to ignore.
