City Council to install more recycling bins

Salisbury City Council has announced that another 12 recycling bins will be installed in the City Centre following the success of a recycling bin trial.

The first 20 recycling bins were installed in August 2022, already generating an incredible 4.252 tonnes of recycling waste.

Following this success, another 12 units will replace the old cast iron bins around the City Centre within the next few weeks. Further delivery is expected in May for a more comprehensive City installation.

These new bins will add to the existing 400+ regular bins around the city, parks, open spaces, neighbourhoods and parish. We appreciate your support with the full use of these bins and the responsible disposal of all litter which contributes towards keeping a clean, healthy and environmentally friendly supported City.

Please help the team by placing the correct items in the recycling bins. Plastic films, carrier bags, rigid plastics and bottle tops are examples of what not to recycle.

Cllr Wells said, “Thank you to those who have done their bit by using the recycling bins in the City.

"We are delighted to see that they are being used so well, and I look forward to seeing more recycling bins across the City to encourage further recycling and reduce the amount of waste going to landfill.”
