Thousands of Perth and Kinross households will be required to deal with an additional recycling bin as part of a new two-pronged waste collection scheme after the council was awarded £2.36 million from the Scottish Government.
The “twin-stream” recycling service will encompass around 73,000 properties and will introduce separate paper/card and plastic/metal/carton collections in 2023.
Householders will be given an additional bin to enable them to sort and present the two different material streams separately and collections of paper/card and plastic/metal bins will take place monthly on alternate fortnights.
