Council extends its recycling efforts

The banks are based at car parks and at supermarkets including Goole leisure centre, Tesco in Withernsea and Morrisons in Beverley.

The new banks are for plastic bottles – with the numbers one, two or three in a triangle on the bottom – and cans.

The glass banks and those for paper, including magazines, brochures and directories, are not affected.

East Riding Council is appealing to residents to come up with suggestions for new sites for recycling banks.

Before any site is confirmed, it is investigated and the views of residents taken into account.

The number to call is 01482 395586.

The council is hoping to meet its target of recycling 45 per cent of household waste this year.
