Yes, seems so. Metals are doing well these days.
I do wonder how long we can keep sending the approximately 24% of total waste to landfill that currently goes there.

It's amazing how much modern vacuum cleaners pick up. This is just half an hour's worth from using our Shark around the house...

Years ago, I caught what looked like it ought to be a nice simple job, transferring waste management data from an old to a new system. The only thing in the contract specification that seemed a little odd was that the deliverable wasn't the actual transfer but a programmable tool to do the work. I thought it sounded like overkill.
Then I was handed the data dictionary for the existing system, which ran to well over 100 pages!

Here in East Devon, we get a recycling collection once a week and a landfill waste collection once every three weeks.
You might think that would lead to bulging dustbins but here is three weeks worth going in the landfill sack...
