How do I get a Mini Recycling Centre for where I live?
First of all, make sure you have the support of other residents and the person with overall responsibility for the building (e.g. management company, housing association).
Next contact Council Connect on 01225 39 40 41 or email councilconnect@bathnes.gov.uk . They will ask for a contact name and telephone number and will liaise with the recycling depot to arrange a site visit and installation of the banks.
Please note, it may take 3-4 months from your first call to getting the bank installed in order to get the necessary permissions. Times may also vary if there is a waiting list at the time.
