Environment Secretary Therese Coffey said: 'Simpler recycling will help us all recycle more easily,'
The government have finally announced long-awaited plans to reform recycling in England but critics have argued it is unnecessary.
The Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs announced today:"Reforms to household and business bin collections and a crackdown on unscrupulous waste carriers will boost recycling rates and protect the environment. "The government is proposing new exemptions to make sure that waste collectors will be able to collect dry recyclables together, in the same bin or bag, and collect organic waste together, to reduce the number of bins required.""The government is fiddling with a system that's fundamentally broken"
"The government needs to get serious and back measures to cut the amount of plastic packaging we produce as a country in the first place."
