England Introduces New Recycling Rules to Tackle Waste Problems

英格兰推出新的回收规定以解决废物问题

New recycling laws have come into effect across England starting from the thirty-first of March.

新的回收法规已从三月三十一日起在英格兰全境生效。

The government has introduced Simpler Recycling legislation, which aims to standardise waste collection across the country.

政府已经推出了“更简单的回收”法案，旨在使全国的废物收集标准化。

These environmental reforms are designed to increase recycling rates, which have remained at about forty-four percent for several years.

这些环境改革旨在提高回收率，该比率多年来一直维持在百分之四十四左右。

Under the new rules, all councils in England must provide separate collection for different types of waste.

根据新规定，英格兰的所有地方议会必须为不同类型的废弃物提供分类收集。

food and garden waste; paper and card; dry recyclable materials such as glass, metal, plastic and cartons; and non-recyclable waste.

厨余与花园废弃物；纸张与卡片；干燥的可回收材料，例如玻璃、金属、塑料和纸盒；以及不可回收废弃物。

The requirements apply to all homes, including flats and shared properties.

这些规定适用于所有住宅，包括公寓和共用房产。

The policy was created because recycling rules have been inconsistent across England for a long time.

这项政策之所以被制定，是因为英格兰各地的回收规则长期以来一直不一致。

Different areas have had different collection systems, which has confused many residents.
