Why was the purple and clear sack service introduced?
The purple and clear sack service was introduced to encourage residents to reduce their domestic waste and recycle more by using the recycling facilities available. There are increasing pressures on the local community to recycle more and reduce the amount of waste put out for collection. If all households borough wide recycle as much as they can and reduce the amount of rubbish thrown away then this will reduce costs for the local tax payer, improve the community’s recycling performance compared with other parts of the country, protect our environment, cut the consumption of raw materials and make more sustainable use of the world’s natural resources.
