Green and yellow recycling bins from Monday
|
Distinctly coloured recycling bins will be installed throughout Gibraltar on Monday, says the environment ministry. The items collected in these bins will subsequently be transferred to a recycling plant for completion of the recycling process.
The green bins are for glass bottles, drinking glasses, tumblers and jars only.
Metal lids and metal bottle tops should be deposited separately in the yellow bins. The yellow bins are only for the depositing of aluminium and steel drink cans, steel food tins, household aerosols and clean aluminium foil as well as the and metal bottle tops and metal lids from the glass bottles and jars.
Any bags used for carrying these items should not be disposed off in either the green or yellow bins. No other types of refuse, other than glass or cans should be deposited in these bins.
Items to be deposited in the recycling bins should be given a quick clean and separated for this purpose. "The co-operation of the public will be appreciated and ensure the success of the recycling process," said the ministry.
