Britain is 'dustbin of Europe'
Britain has been branded the "dustbin of Europe" after figures revealed that the country dumps more household waste into landfill than any other in the EU.
Analysis by the Local Government Association revealed that UK households send almost 27 million tonnes of rubbish to landfill every year. This is equivalent to almost half a tonne for every home in the country. The figures also show that Britain sends seven million tonnes more rubbish into landfill than any other country in Europe.
Germany, which has a population 25% larger than the UK, disposes of less than half the amount of rubbish into the ground.
