27% doesn't belong in the rubbish bag

More than 300 environmentally aware and cost-conscious cities, communities, companies and private individuals in Switzerland are choosing to separate their waste, because more than a third of all household waste is of an organic nature and can be recycled. The separate disposal of kitchen and garden waste and food leftovers also saves on waste collection fees.
