Residents wheelie pleased with new bins
Bridgnorth residents were delighted to receive a surprise delivery this week when thousands of purple recycling waste bins finally arrived at their waiting households.
In February, residents were invited to apply for a free new purple-lidded recycle waste bin to replace the traditional open boxes.
The single containers combine plastic, tin and glass waste to save space. It is also hoped the lids will help reduce the windswept waste being blown about on recycling days.
Residents were relieved to see their new bins finally arrive after waiting since February.
Shropshire councillor for Bridgnorth West and Tasley Julia Buckley had campaigned for the bins and encouraged residents to apply for them.
She said “We are delighted to finally get our new purple bins. I thanked the team for coming to Bridgnorth and explained how welcome they would be made in our town. "
Residents who haven't ordered their purple bins yet can do so by calling 0345 678 9007 or ordering online at: www.shropshire.gov.uk/recycling-and-rubbish/order-a-bin-or-container.
