Phased city-wide increase in recycling service provision

City Councillors have been advised by the Waste Management Department of a phased City-wide increase in recycling service provision as follows:

"For the past few years we have been constantly implementing additional recycling services as and when possible. Currently we have no additional funding available to allow us to implement any new services but following a great many requests from members of the public, we are now in a position to offer households larger and/or additional recycling bins.

"Although not a "new" service as such, this forms part of the commitment to increasing recycling throughout the city and consistently seeking to improve the recycling services offered to households within Dundee.

"We therefore intend to offer both additional and larger containers for recycling to applicable households on a phased implementation programme over the coming months.

"These additional/larger containers relate to all 3 of our current domestic recycling services which are paper and garden waste recycling (both by way of kerbside bins), as well as the green box scheme, which allows households to place glass bottles and jars, plastic bottles and aluminium cans in their box for recycling.

"Both the blue (paper) and brown (garden waste) recycling bins will now be larger having a capacity of 240 litres rather than 140 litres. There will be no change to the size of the green box which remains at 55 litre capacity. Having received a number of requests from members of the public to collect cardboard along with paper in their blue bins, we are also now in a position to allow households to place flattened cardboard in their blue bins to be recycled.

"Households will be delivered an 'opt in' leaflet informing them of the additional & larger containers being offered and inviting them to request these. Households wishing to receive an additional bin or box should fill in the freepost section of the leaflet stating which receptacle they wish and whether they would like their smaller bin/s removed. It is important to note that the collection dates of these households will not change and bins/boxes should be placed out onto the kerbside as normal.

"For operational reasons, we are carrying out this phased implementation programme in a geographical manner, and the first phase is primarily within the west of the city. Further phases will follow in other areas."
