Leigh Park Shopping Centre boosts recycling
A new way to dispose of your rubbish and recycling whilst
shopping has now been introduced at Leigh Park Shopping Centre.
The three new dual recycling bins are designed for public use in
shopping areas and open spaces, collecting both litter and
recycling. The bins each have separate compartments within them to
collect paper, card, plastic bottles and cans separate to
non-recyclable materials.
Following the success of a three month trial period in Havant
Town Centre, Havant Borough Council is now introducing the dual
bins in Leigh Park to provide more recycling facilities in public
places, making it easier for people to recycle wherever they
are.
All recycling materials collected from the bins will be taken to
the Materials Recovery Facility (MRF) to be sorted and recycled
alongside household recyclables.
Since the introduction of Alternate Weekly Collections (AWC) the
Borough of Havant currently recycles 32% of its household waste, 2%
higher than Central Government’s standard.
The new bins will be situated outside Tesco’s, Netto’s and
Iceland in Greywell Shopping Precinct, Leigh Park.
