UNDER GROUND RECYCLING BANKS LIKE THOSE IS OSCOTT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED AGAIN

When Councillor Tristan Chatfield and I took Councillor James Mckay (who has Cabinet
responsibility for creating an environment and sustainable infrastructure) to see Oscott underground recycling banks.
These banks which I fought long and hard for many years ago which are located on the corner of Oscott School Lane and Old Oscott Hill and also near the Kingsting Library have worked well over the years.
The still look neat and have far less rubbish dumped near them than the traditional recycling banks we see on a lot of street corners.
I explained to James that these could be a way forward and although, as they have to be part buried underground which means they are not suitable everywhere, they should be considered again by the Birmingham City Council if we want to improve our recycling record.
