the best people in place for the successful preparation and delivery of this important change to the way people in England recycle at home.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cole said that Simpler Recycling will make recycling \u2018easier and more consistent\u2019 by ensuring every household can recycle the same materials wherever they are in England.<\/p>\n<p>As part of Simpler Recycling, from April 2026, all
