Recyclable materials that may be separately collected from Municipal Waste include: '' Biodegradable Waste component'' ''Other recyclable components''
Kerbside collection of recylable resources is aimed to recover purer waste streams with higher market value than by other collection methods. If the household incorrectly separates the recyclable elements they load may have to be put to Landfill if it is deemed to be contaminated. Kerbside collection and household recycling schemes are also being used as tools by local authorities to increase the public's awareness of their waste production. In the UK, the ''Household Waste Recycling Act'' (2003) will require local authorities to provide every household with a separate collection of at least two types of recyclable materials by 2010.http://www.foe.co.uk/campaigns/waste/news/recycling_bill_success.html, Friends of the Earth. Kerbside collection is commonly considered to be completely environmentally friendly. This may not necessarily be the case as it leads to an increased number of waste collection vehicles on the road, contributing to global warming through exhaust emissions. New and emerging waste treatment technologies such as Mechanical Biological Treatment may offer an alternative to kerbside collection through automated separation of waste in recycling factories.
