RECYCLING figures are up after a controversial new refuse collection scheme was introduced in June.

Householders in Worthing are now recycling 15 per cent of their rubbish '” a figure "significantly higher" than before the changes '” putting the town on course to meet its 24 per cent target for March 2004.

Councillor Bob Smytherman hailed the increase as "fantastic news" and said things were "working well".
