RECYCLING is high on the household agenda of people in Somerset according to a new survey launched to coincide with Recycling Week.

More than 80 per cent of peo- ple questioned in the One Poll survey confirmed they recycle as much as possible and less than three per cent admitted not caring about recycling.

The survey by housebuilder Barratt Homes revealed that men and women are equally committed to recycling but there was a definite difference in the approach of age groups.

Almost 90 per cent of people aged 55 or older say they recycle as much as possible but just 67 per cent of those aged between 18 and 24 were as committed.
