Adopt a bottle bank

Each year community groups and charities are asked take on the responsibility of a bottle bank, by publicising and encouraging people to recycle their glass bottles and jars. The groups will also maintain the up-keep of the site, and reporting any damage of overflowing bottle banks to the council. The council will ensure all the bottle banks are emptied and the area is clean and tidy.

In return for their hard work, the adoptees will receive a financial reward based on the amount of glass collected from their allocated bottle bank. This payment is based on the savings that the council makes from recycling the glass instead of sending it to landfill, where this valuable resource is lost.
