The pilot includes external recycling units, situated in the following areas:
- Either side of the semi-circle area at the rear of Poole House
- In the courtyard area near the Library Cafe
- Near the mobile catering outlet by Christchurch House
There are also a series of internal recycling bins, which are being trialled in Weymouth House and are situated in the lift lobby on each floor.
The bins are clearly labelled for the following materials:
Paper– any waste paper and card
Mixed Recycling –
Plastic bottles
Aluminium and steel cans
Glass bottles and jars
