Council's free green recycling bag is back

COUNCIL are providing MEA residents with the opportunity to pick up a green recycling bag from their local Household Recycling Centre!

Following on from European Week for Waste Reduction in November 2017, Council are once again providing MEA residents the opportunity to pick up a green recycling bag from their local Household Recycling Centre (HRC) so that it will help to recycle a range of items from around their homes and garages.

This bag is very versatile and can be used for old newspapers/magazines, small electrical items, grass/hedge clippings, or even simply glass bottles and other recyclable items which may be in excess to your normal kerbside bin collection.

It fits nicely into your car boot and is made of very durable material.

Bags will be given out on a first come, first served basis and will be one per customer. Bags are available from Monday 2nd July. When they’re gone, they’re gone!
