Band 7+: The graph below shows percentages of types of waste that were recycled in a town between 2000 and 2010. Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant. Write at least 150 words.

The bar chart illustrates the amount of recycled waste across diverse types in a town over a decade.

Overall, the proportion of different types of waste recycled followed a similar pattern, which was an upward trajectory in time periods, with the figures in the cans sector being the exception.

Looking at the information in more details, the proportion of recycled litter across types presented a slight fluctuation between 2000 to 2005. During this period, the amount of recycled metallic waste and paper underwent a significant change, surging to 30% and 19% respectively in 2005, which outnumbered other categories. In contrast, the recycled waste that made of plastic held the small slice, merely10% in 2000, with minor increase in 2005.

Additionally, the final year, 2010, experienced more noticeable growth in total recycled amount. This trend emerged in the form of drastical rise in each category. Particularly in the cans sector, the figure almost tripled from 11% in 2005 to 33% in 2010. The remainder, comprised by plastic, paper, and metal, also presented an exponential growth by 2010.
