Urban populations produce high amounts of household and commercial waste which creates the challenge of how to manage and dispose of it. This lesson looks at the ways in which Leeds is managing over 300,000 tonnes of household waste each year. With the help of their Recycling and Energy Recovery Facility they are recycling 45% of their waste and send no household waste to landfill. In addition, they are using the waste to create enough energy to power 22,000 homes.
This lesson is aimed at the AQA GCSE geography course, but could easily be adapted to suit other geography courses.
There is a 4 min video to support the lesson or for revision.
