Surrey residents are not recycling enough saysSurrey County Council as it released its three Rs campaign.

The campaign urges Surrey residents to Reduce, Reuse and Recycle in order to tackle the issue of waste management in the home and in the work place.

It is backed up by statistics from the biggest independent research project ever commissioned into UK consumers' attitudes to reusing and reducing waste.

It found more than half of Surrey residents who responded don't regularly choose products with less packaging, while two thirds know they could do more to reduce waste.

Peter Martin, deputy chairman of Surrey Local Government Association and Surrey County Council executive member for the environment, is encouraged by the findings.

He said: "It's obvious that people want to do more to tackle the root cause of waste production.

"Lots of authorities are campaigning on recycling, but as far as we're concerned in Surrey, that isn't enough. We need to focus on prevention rather than cure."
