WRAP funded project for flats and shared houses

For some people, the nature of their accommodation can make it harder to use and find out about the recycling services, particularly when they move into new or temporary accommodation, so funding has been granted to try and make this easier.

The project involves visiting properties to inform people about the services on offer and provide them with an information pack including posters with collection days and magnets and stickers showing what can be recycled.

The project will be supported by adverts, roadshows, displays and leaflets and we are inviting people to sign up for a quarterly email to keep up to date with changes and developments to the services.

We are looking to contact landlords directly to help keep them up to date with the recycling services and we are looking for opportunities to visit resident and management groups to talk to them and answer questions about the services on offer.

For further information about the project, please contact Council Connect on 01225 39 40 41 or email councilconnect@bathnes.gov.uk.
