Unique recycling scheme launched
Residents living in St Edmundsbury will soon be able to recycle old batteries alongside their blue bin waste as part of a unique scheme to be trialled in the borough.
From April, people who live in St Edmundsbury will be given a container which can be filled with old batteries and hung from the handle of their blue bin on collection day. The trial, which was approved last night by the council’s Cabinet, is the first of its kind in the country and will run until March 2008.
