PEOPLE in the Inishowen area will have an added
incentive to recycle using their blue bins after
local recycling company Logan's announced that they
were reducing the cost of having the bins emptied.
At present it takes two tokens, priced at €5.50
each, to get a black bin emptied and blue recycling
bins also required two tokens.
However, from yesterday, Wednesday 1 December,
Logan’s have reduced the requirement for the blue
bin from two to one.
Patrick Logan said: “The whole idea if to encourage
people to use their blue bins to recycle there waste
material. We think if we reduce the cost of having
that bin emptied then more people will use the
facility and everyone will benefit.
“We also have our own sorting plant to go through
the recyclable material and sort it out and this is
an added bonus in that we used to have to send the
material away.”
He added: “We would hope that people will use their
blue bins properly and recycle the material that
they should.
“Of course any blue bins that are contaminated will
have to be taken away and sorted out so it is
important that people put the right material into
the right bin.”
Items to be recycled are: newspapers, magazines,
cardboard, drink cans, plastic bottles, plastic
bags, clean food tins, milk/juice cartons, envelopes
and leaflets.
Items not suitable for recycling are: glass,
domestic/organic waste, paint tins, nappies, food or
food parts, polystyrene or plastic packaging,
aluminium foil or trays, textile clothes or shoes,
sharps (medical waste).
Logan’s will be doing collections as normal over the
Christmas and New Year period. |
