The harbourside will be fitted with permanent recycling bins from today (Wednesday, June 14). Bristol Waste has announced that, for the first time, visitors to Bristol's harbourside will be able to recycle their litter on the go, in brand new bins adorned with images of otters.
The bright, colourful bins featuring the image of the otters who have made Bristol Harbour their home, will begin to appear today, as part of Bristol Wate's new 'on-the-go' recycling initiative #InTheLoop. The scheme aims to make it easy for both residents and visitors to recycle empty glass, plastic bottles and cans, improving recycling rates and protecting local wildlife.
The initiative is a partnership between Bristol Waste and environmental charity Hubbub, supported by Bristol City Council and with funding from the 'In The Loop fund'. Twenty-four new recycling bins, including solar-powered bins, will be positioned strategically across Castle Park and all around the harbour.
