Scotland's recycling rate falls to a five-year low

What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorScotland's household recycling rate fell to forty-two point eight percent last year, down from forty-four point three, its lowest in five years, the BBC reports.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe target was seventy percent, set back in twenty ten. Vera, your take.

3. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorHot take: this is a triumph of transparency. Scotland didn't miss its target by twenty-seven points, it exceeded its own expectations of itself.

4. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorNOT. You can't exceed a number by being under it.

5. 

   Dale Bearman · Chief Skeptic & ContributorHot take: the bottle return scheme is delayed to twenty twenty-eight, so every bottle in Scotland is now technically a long-term tenant.

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHOT. They do pay no rent.

7. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorWhy is mine NOT and his is HOT? I was thorough. Glasgow recycled twenty-six percent while South Ayrshire did fifty-five. That's range.

8. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBecause you called a miss a triumph, and he called a delay a tenancy. One of you lied less.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorMy own take. Landfill is at its lowest on record, and the rubbish now goes to power plants that burn it for electricity.

10. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorScotland isn't wasting waste, it's keeping the lights on with it. HOT.
