Guernsey households recycled half of their waste in 2017, the highest ever figure recorded.
The latest government statistics show a household recycling rate of 50.1%, up 2% from 2016.
The figures, which do not reflect the transition to pay-as-you throw waste charges, also show the lowest ever amount of waste put into landfill in a single year.
The island's Mont Cuet Landfill received 27,327 tonnes of waste in 2017, according to States of Guernsey Trading Assets.
There was also a significant fall in the amount of building waste disposed of at the Longue Hougue site, however, this was largely put down to a decline in the construction industry.
The increasing popularity of kerbside recycling will lead to a reduction in the number of sites where islanders can deposit items for recycling.
A decision on the bring bank sites will be made in 2019, States Trading Assets added.

Inspectors from HMIC said that the IT systems were some of the most outdated they had ever seen, and that committee members were focusing on specific matters rather than overall strategy and policy.
Responding to calls from a fellow politician, Deputy Mary Lowe said there was "no cause" for any members to step down.
Quote MessageIf we wanted a report that was all fluffy and nice we would have written it ourselves. It isn't critical - we're not going to run away from it why would we do that? We asked for this, we wanted to carry out this work, otherwise we wouldn't have gone out for the report in the first place. So I'm absolutely not going to consider my position - nor are my committee. We're absolutely united, and totally support the recommendations that have come through.
