Household rubbish put out for recycling is dumped in landfill sites or sent to incinerators by three out of four councils, it has been reported.

Councils admitted destroying more than 100,000 tons of recyclable waste, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Medway, Peterborough and Reading councils had the worst figures, with each failing to recycle more than 10% of what was collected.
