The Transport and Technical Services (TTS) Recycling Team has been working with Clyde-Smith Management Services Ltd to launch a kerbside recycling scheme for the residents of Millennium Court, St Clement.
The recycling scheme, which launches today, provides the residents of the 57 apartments of Millennium Court with facilities to recycle paper, cardboard, cans and plastic bottles in addition to glass which has always been separated from household rubbish by the residents.
Following advice from the TTS Recycling Team, the Co-Owners Residents Committee agreed to add four 240 litre wheeled bins to each of the five bin stores in Millennium Court. Colour coded stickers using the signage consistent with the island wide recycling bring banks and Bellozanne Household Recycling Centre will help the residents to identify what materials can be recycled in each bin. Every household has also received a guide to the new recycling scheme along with advice on how to recycle other items such as batteries and textiles.
The recycling bins will be emptied every week by Germbusters Ltd, the company also responsible for emptying the Island-wide network of recycling bring banks installed by TTS and collecting recycling from households in Trinity and St Mary during the monthly parish kerbside collections.
Kevin Clyde-Smith, Managing Director, Clyde-Smith Management Services Limited said:’ We have been thrilled by the enthusiasm of the Co-Owners Residents Committee to set up a recycling scheme in Millennium Court. The scheme has taken some time to develop but we are proud to launch a scheme that focuses on separating a range of key materials which will be recycled through the channels established by Transport and Technical Services.’
John Rive, Head of Waste Prevention and Recycling, TTS said: ‘This project is exciting as it shows the demand for kerbside recycling collections and illustrates how kerbside collections are possible where parish recycling collections are not yet up and running. We hope that this project strengthens the case for household recycling collections and also encourages residents of similar developments to follow the residents of Millennium Court in developing their own recycling collections.’
