Torbay rates 199 th out of 393 councils (05/06) with a combined recycling and composting rate of 25.6%. To put this in perspective the top council achieves 51.5% and the bottom 8.9% details here . Torbay 's percentage breaks down into 18.85% of waste being recycled and 6.77% composted. If we assume that we could re-process around 80% of our waste then you can see that we have quite a way to go. Torbay has a government set target of 30% of our waste being re-processed by 2006.
