SOUTH Ayrshire Council roll out the biggest phase of their new recycling campaign this week with 12,000 homes in Mossblown, Ayr and Prestwick being the latest areas encouraged to step up their level of recycling.
The new service includes two new bins for ‘Paper, Card and Cardboard’, and ‘Glass Bottles and Jars’, while the existing blue bins will be used for ‘Metals, Plastics and Cartons’. Uplift of the 'Non-recyclable' green bin will change, with collections taking place every three weeks.
Councillor Ian Cochrane, South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Sustainability and the Environment said the service was being rolled out in stages, “We’re about to begin collections for the second phase of this major campaign, with people in Mossblown and parts of Ayr and Prestwick now ready to start using their new recycling service.
“We’re counting on communities to help us to make a success of the service and, with positive feedback coming from properties in Girvan and Carrick, we’re confident that people making the change will find this to be an easy transition.
“Looking ahead, it’s a busy time for the campaign with the third stage due to go live at the start of December, with every household being contacted with detailed information well in advance of the start date.”
