TOP RECYCLING AWARD FOR COUNCIL

Argyll and Bute Council was presented with a prestigious award at this year’s More Than Recycling Annual Conference.

The Council received the Local Authority Partnership Award at the Community Recycling Network for Scotland’s Annual Conference, which was held in Perth Concert Hall on Wednesday (14th March).

Councillor Robin Banks, The Council’s spokesperson for Development and Environment, said: “This is a wonderful achievement for the Council and shows the commitment we have to recycling throughout Argyll and Bute.

“We are consistently at the forefront of recycling initiatives, and our commitment to reducing, re-using and recycling waste is unwavering. It is therefore very gratifying to have everyone’s hard work recognised.

“Most importantly, there is no doubt that the public are the vital piece in Argyll and Bute’s recycling jigsaw. Without their efforts we would be unable to achieve such a high rate of recycling."

Fyne Futures Bute Recycling Scheme was also joint winner of the CRNS Member of the Year, alongside WoodRecyclability, and Re-JIG Boi-Diesel Project on Islay won the Innovation Award.
