Agenda Item 4.5

Dear Clerk,

DUAL USE BINS TO ENCOURAGE RECYCLING WITHIN OUR DISTRICTS

We wanted to take this opportunity to write to make you aware of a new initiative to roll out dual use bins within the town centres.

Whilst we wait to confirm availability for funding, we write to enquire whether you would be interested to upgrade your existing bins within the Parish to the dual use bins. These bins have two sides, one side is for general waste that is non-recyclable and the other that is for mixed recycling. The other option are dual side by side bins, one for general waste and the other for mixed recycling. This will also help to recycle of the go and support our green agenda.

The cost per bin will be subject to registering your interest in this with us. In the first instance please can you email the Property Services department propertyservices@middevon.gov.uk to confirm whether this is something that you would be interested in.

We will advise on the cost including instalment prior to any financial commitment.

Yours Sincerely,

Andrew Busby

Group Manager for Corporate Property and Commercial Assets
