The table below is a direct extract from a government backed web site;it took me approximately 1 minute to find it. En route there was a web site on which Peterborough invited anyone with questions to complete a form, on line and submit it; alternatively there was a number you could ring. It was also interesting to discover that Peterborough is in the forefront of waste control; there was a strategy document on this subject also given exposure. If I can get this far this quickly you should be get far more detailed information than I have ; explore the web.
List of Partner Councils and their household waste recycling performance figures for 2008/09, shown as approximate tonnes and percentage of total household waste
Recycled Composted Land filled total waste

Peterborough City Council 20,59823,056 47,211 90,865
22.67% 25.37% 51.96%

AS a personal observation; over 50 percent of waste still going to Land fill is an indictment on the waste inherent in our society.
Ps the table does not “carry across to the web site, so I will summarise it here:
Peterborough recycled 22.67 percent of its waste,composted 25.37 percent and 51.96 percent went to landfill

The Expert answers:

Our mother Earth which has a bio-capacity — natural absorption rate of organic carbon in the soil mantle, but our human animal had already discharged double that figure, with the developed nations being the biggest contributor and preacher of recycling, whilst shipping millions of tons of solid waste to another geological cleft.

In a vicious dose-dependent cycle, such amount of toxic waste affects global geochemical balance; further contribute to the shifting in climate and trophic levels (food chains) in the ecosystem, known as the bio-magnification. What a wise eclecticism.

The volume of solid waste discharged in the Earth’s biosphere has reached a geological figure of 400 million tons per annum and rising, in a generation’s time, mankind will suffocated in its own garbage.

The natural absorption rate of organic carbon in the soil mantle is estimated 42 million tons annually.

Human animal discharge of organic carbon had reached 85 million tons per annum — doubled the earth’s natural absorption ability.

Why rising, read below, no body even notice that 1 billion more people on Earth in just 10 years, a break record this time, not a good news. And only China is doing something about it – one world, one dream same nightmare.

We celebrated on the eve of the new millennia with 6 billion people on Earth, since another billion people had joined our party by 2010 — 6 billion in 1999 now 6.8 and by next year today 7 billion.
