A campaign to improve recycling rates in Perth and Kinross - which received a hostile response from some residents - has won a national accolade.
Perth and Kinross Council’s Waste Services team’s ‘Stick to the Six’ campaign clinched the silver award at the APSE (Association for Public Service Excellence) Striving for Excellence Awards in the waste and recycling category.
The campaign explains that paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and containers, cans/tins, and cartons are the only items accepted in household blue bins.All households eligible for kerbside waste collection received information detailing what types of waste to keep out of their blue bins, as well as targeted checks and intervention on the ground by staff.Where the contents failed, the “contaminated’ bins were left unemptied at the kerbside with red failure notices stuck on the lid urging householders to sort their recycling waste more carefully next time.
According to the most recent PKC figures from April 2022, contamination levels in the region have dropped from 30 per cent to 15 per cent.
