Recycling

Recycling of drinks cans, plastic bottles and plastic “glasses”

As in 2008 and 2009 we shall be preventing as many of these containers as possible from going to landfill.

In previous years this has been amazingly successful – over half a ton (!!!) of valuable cans and plastics have been collected and diverted to the proper recycling facilities for each product operated by Leeds City Council.

We will be using 16 wire cages, each 4’ tall by 2’ square and clearly labelled as to what should (and should not!) go in to them.

Alongside each of the cages will be plastic wheelie bins for paper, cardboard, often contaminated with food waste, and anything else that cannot currently be recycled.

The cages need to be emptied at fairly regular intervals into a lockable skip (provided by the Council), and taken back to their locations on Regent Street. This isn’t hard work, but is too much for one person to do on his own, particularly as he’s not as young or fit as he used to be!

Three or four additional helpers to do a couple of hours during the period from Friday evening to Sunday evening would be wonderful.
