Borough of Telford & Wrekin

Plastic Bottle Banks

Tops off and squeeze!
Plastic Bottle Banks
That's the message from Telford & Wrekin Council this month as 20 brand new plastic bottle banks are being rolled out across the borough. Following consultation with Parish and Town Councils the first plastic bottle banks are now in place.

The new bottle banks are being coordinated by Recresco and Telford & Wrekin Services (TWS). Recresco will empty each bank by 'vacuuming' the plastic bottles into a lorry for recycling.

In addition to using the kerbside recycling service for other items please do your bit for the environment by taking your plastic bottles to the new sites for recycling. An additional 32 banks will be rolled out throughout the borough later this year, which will make it easy for Telford residents to recycle their plastic bottles.

Only plastic bottles can be placed in these banks. At present the council do not have recycling facilities for other types of plastic.

When using the banks, please follow this simple 1,2,3 so that the banks contain as many bottles as possible, This means that the lorries make fewer trips and helps to reduce Telford's impact on the environment.
