Recycling Point at Tesco, Crieff Road, Perth
Tesco have recently introduced their own state of the art
recycling facility. In addition to the usual bells and containers,
Tesco are operating a 'reverse vending' machine that actually
rewards you with Green Clubcard Points when you recycle. The
machine can accept steel and aluminium food and drinks cans, glass
bottles and all types of rigid plastic, including bottles, punnets
and yoghurt cartons. For further information, visit
Tesco's website. The facility is located in the store's
carpark.
Frequently asked questions
When can you use your local Recycling
Point?
Many of the Recycling Points are open all the time but please
check with your local site and be considerate of local residents
especially when recycling glass.
How can I find out more information about my local
Recycling Point?
At the points you will also find community information boards
where we aim to provide you with waste and recycling
information relevant to your local area.
Who do I contact if there is a problem with my local
Recycling Point?
The Recycling Points are un-manned and as such, on
occasions, we may rely on you to tell us when the points
require servicing, particularly if there has been unusually
high usage.
If you arrive at a point and you find any of the containers
full, you can submit a request online for
the recycling bank / unit to be
emptied. We aim to empty the bank/unit within 3
working days of receiving your request.
If the recycling point does not meet your
expectations, please contact us on 01738 476476 or email recycle@pkc.gov.uk.
Future developments to Recycling Points
Over the next few years we will be establishing a number
of new Recycling Points.
If you or your local community group have identified a location
for a recycling point please contact us and we will work
with you to take your suggestion through the
site assessment and planning application
process.
To express your interest, in the first instance, please contact
us and ask for a Community Waste Advisor.
