Communal recycling bins to replace black boxes.
Brighton & Hove City Council will install the bins in 30 streets in Central Hove by the end of next week, Friday, February 14.Residents can use the mixed recycling bins to recycle their plastic bottles, food and drink cans, cardboard and paper as soon as they arrive in their street.The last black box collections will take place during the week beginning February 17. As the scheme ends, residents can choose to keep their boxes to store their recycling or leave the empty boxes outside for the council to collect and re-use in other parts of the city.Most of the communal bins, which will be emptied at least three times a week, have been placed alongside existing communal refuse bins to avoid taking up parking spaces. Locations of the glass recycling bins have been chosen to minimise problems with noise.Locations for the bins were decided following feedback from the public consultation and exhibitions last year.
