Created: Jul 12, 2006 11:00 AM
The Ministry of Works and Engineering and Housing is advising the public that it is in the process of placing 49 new, dual purpose trash bins throughout the Island�s bus shelter locations in the hopes of encouraging the public to be more conscious about recycling. ��The Ministry said that the old bins currently at the bus shelters will be phased out. ��The bins are noticeably different from the previous bins particularly because they have been designed with two sections; one section to collect regular refuse and the other section to collect recyclables, such as bottles cans and plastics.��The first bin was installed last week outside the Southampton Glebe Primary School. ��
New public trash bins which Government hopes will encourage recycling are being placed in bus shelters across the Island.
