Straight’s Canterbury tale is worth £1.7m

Recycling group Straight has won a £1.7m contract with Serco to provide waste and recycling initiatives to Canterbury City Council.

The Leeds-based company will supply recyclables and garden waste, which will be collected on alternate weeks with residual waste.

Straight will provide 240-litre wheeled bins, complete with a 55-litre wheeled bin inner caddy. The bins will be used for mixed recyclables and the caddy for paper and card.

Further sizes of wheeled bins will also be provided.
