For example: • Some local government waste collection strategies involve providing bins for different types of waste (1) making it easier for householders to recycle (1). • Lower recycling rates in regions with large cities (1) as many people will live in flats/apartments (1) where there is nowhere to store recycling bins (1). • London has lower recycling rates than other regions (1) because people cannot have compost heaps because they do not have gardens (1) so all food waste is put in black bins (1). • Other reasons may be used: income, culture. Accept any other appropriate response.
