Recycling reaches new heights at College Bank

Zoe Anders, Outreach Officer for Greater Manchester Waste Disposal Authority

Residents of College Bank flats are to receive two reusable recycling bags - one for their paper and cardboard and the other for co-mingled waste, which includes glass jars plastic bottles and food and drink cans - to help improve recycling. The bags allow easy transportation of their recycling to the bins located outside the basement of each block of flats.

Residents at Mitchell Hey, Dunkirk Rise and Tentercroft will also be given the opportunity to recycle their food waste. Kitchen caddies and compostable liners will allow residents to recycle their organic waste to the new brown bins which are located outside the ground floor or basement of their flats.

A recycling information leaflet will also be provided to all residents and Recycle for Greater Manchester will be have information stands at the flats to remind residents about the new recycling facilities.

Roll out of the new recycling facilities to residents in College Bank began in July and will continue throughout August.
