In other words, in the UK theyre recycling only about 8% of their everyday waste. Thats much less than many other countries. Germany recycles 10%, while Japan recycles 40%. The government has set a goal of recycling 30% of their everyday waste by the year 2010. But it looks that it is not easy to reach it.
