Recycling for residents in Perth's city centre has just become
more convenient with the introduction of a new Recycling Point, in
the car park of the Lidl supermarket on Glasgow Road.
Situated at the car park's south east corner, near the
pedestrian crossing on Glasgow Road, the new Recycling Point
provides recycling bins for green, brown and clear glass bottles
and jars.
The Perth and Kinross area already has one of the highest
recycling rates in Scotland. In an effort to keep increasing the
level of waste recycled, Perth & Kinross Council is continually
working to make recycling as easy as possible by providing
facilities closer to where local residents need them.
Environment Convener, Councillor Alan Grant, said: ȁC;Glass
bottles and jars are the main type of waste that cannot be recycled
at the kerbside. Therefore, the installation of these new recycling
bins at one of our local supermarkets will we hope be popular with
residents and encourage them to recycle glass rather than put it
out with their general waste."
For further information about what and where you can recycle, or
any other waste related queries, please contact the Customer
Service Centre on 01738 476476, email recycle@pkc.gov.uk or visit www.pkc.gov.uk/recycle
