Extended partnership to boost recycling
Scarborough Borough
Council and RB Markets are pleased to announce that they will be in
partnership for a while longer after recently agreeing a five year
contract.
This means that the Boroughs residents can
still benefit from the FREE collection of any unwanted or broken
electrical items for a further five years.
The new joint arrangement is designed to boost the recycling of
WEEE (Waste electronic and electrical equipment) in the
Borough.
Harry Briggs, Scarborough Borough Council’s
Recycling and Waste Enforcement Manager said: “We are delighted to
have been able to ensure that the FREE service will continue in to
the future as we believe this to be a fantastic service and one
which is well used by our residents.
“This important partnership working means we
can provide a FREE service, while helping us all to work together
to recycle more and protect the environment for the future. This
contract delivers significant savings to residents whilst
maintaining our current service provision. We are hoping to build
on this agreement and see more waste recycled than ever.”
Alan Clarke, of RB Markets, said: “We are
extremely pleased to be able to offer the service for a further 5
years to the residents of Scarborough, and will strive to increase
the recycling figures for the borough. With the councils’
commitment to the scheme and the residents’ active engagement, we
hope to make Scarborough one of the best towns for recycling in the
country.”
