Stepping up internal recycling for council offices (10th November 2008)
We wanted to set a good example to our householders by trying to improve recycling within our own council buildings. As a result we’ve set ourselves a target to recycle 50% of our council office waste by 2010/11. Some of our biggest town centre offices now have green bins for recycling paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, food tins and drinks cans. We will be expanding the scheme to all council offices over the next 18 months.This is in addition to the office paper recycling scheme which is already available in all council offices.
