Communal Bin Roll-Out : Off street Developments in the Broughton area

Email to NTBCC with further information regarding the Communal Bin roll-out in the N1 Parking area for off-street developments. It includes removal where necessary of the paper (‘Fibre’) blue-lidded bins such that future paper recycling is contained within the Dry Mixed Recycling (green-lidded) bins. 


COMMUNAL BIN REVIEW –– Off street developments – Broughton area

We are continuing the roll out of the communal bin review improving and enhancing recycling facility available to properties in developments. At off street developments, as the ones listed below, bins are stored in bin stores or bin areas and are not on-street. These off street developments are all different and different arrangements will be made to these sites i.e. some of them just required updated stickers, some of them needed a food waste bin or a glass bin and some others needed the paper bin to be changed into mixed recycling. This is to improve and increase the access to recycling facilities for these residents.

We are ensuring the signage on the bins is updated and/or the appropriate number of bins for non-recyclable waste, mixed recycling, glass and food waste are provided to residents at:

  • Powderhall
  • Hatters Lane
  • 70-72 Logie Green Road
