Blue bins get more useful

From Monday, 9 April, bluebins on Arran will be able to accept glass and a wider variety of plastics for recycling..

Currently, the blue bins are used for paper, cardboard, metals, and plastic bottles, but from next Monday, we will be able to add just about every other kind of plastic. The blue bins will accept supermarket food and fruit trays, yoghurt pots, small toys and even hard plastics such as flower pots. They can take plastic bags , too, and other plastic wrapping such as clingfilm and polythene.

Information leaflets are available at the local Council office in Lamlash, the library, local shops and schools. Council staff will be at the Co-operative Food store on Thursday, 5 April between 10am and 4pm to answer any questions about the new improvements to the recycling service.
