Coupar Angus, Burrelton & Woodside Zero Waste Challenge
Coupar Angus, Burrelton and Woodside are hosting Perth and Kinross’s 13th Zero Waste Challenge between Monday 25th August and Wednesday 17th September 2014, run by Energy Saving Coupar Angus in partnership with Perth & Kinross Council’s Waste Services.
The aim of the Zero Waste Challenge is that from Monday 25th August, householders in Coupar Angus, Burrelton and Woodside are encouraged to put as little as possible in the Green-Lidded (General Waste) Bin – until after the next general waste collection. Simultaneously, householders are encouraged to put as many recyclable items in the Blue-Lidded (Recycling) Bin as possible.
Over 80% of the contents of the average general waste bin in Perth and Kinross can instead be:
- Reduced (minimising food waste, stopping unwanted mail, minimising packaging),
- Reused (using Real Nappies, using reusable bags, passing items on for reuse locally)
- Recycled (in the Blue-Lidded Bin, in the Brown-Lidded (Food & Garden Waste) Bin, at Recycling Centres or at local Recycling Points).
