The document summarizes a presentation about waste management in rural areas. It discusses how perceptions of waste are changing due to increased costs and legislation. The EU Landfill Directive and UK Landfill Tax have increased disposal fees to encourage recycling. Recycling can save businesses money by removing materials from landfills that are taxed. The presentation uses a case study of a care home to show how a recycling program from Mil-tek could significantly reduce waste costs and bins while meeting customer and regulatory expectations.
