Recycling in Malmesbury has stepped up a gear thanks to the introduction of the town’s first recycling bins.
Malmesbury Town Council has invested nearly £5,000 in the five bins, which have been purpose made by local manufacturer Sweetnam & Bradley.
One has already been sited at the Cloister Gardens, and the others will be located in front of the Town Hall, at the top of the High Street, in Station Yard carpark, and in Birdcage Walk.
Each bin has one side for general waste, with the other for mixed recycling – drinks cans, plastic (such as drinks bottles), paper and cardboard.
“This investment of nearly £5,000 in new recycling bins shows our commitment to making Malmesbury a greener, cleaner town,” said Malmesbury Mayor Cllr Stephen James.
“We’re pleased to have supported a local business, Sweetnam & Bradley, who purpose-made these bins. With separate sections for general waste and mixed recycling, we’re hoping they’ll make it much easier for everyone to do their bit for the town and the environment.”
