Scottish Government backs more consistent recycling collections
It has been announced that the Scottish Government is due to back more consistent household recycling schemes, through a zero waste taskforce in partnership with COSLA.
“The intention to develop a new household recycling charter in Scotland is very welcome news. We have long called for a more consistent approach by local authorities to recycling collection schemes. Having talked to our consumers about their attitudes to recycling, many are still not clear on what materials can be recycled, what materials are collected by their local authority, what the benefit of recycling is, and many say that schemes can be difficult to understand. This initiative should help make it easier for Scottish householders to recycle. The Scottish Government and COSLA should be congratulated for this positive step”.
