A public bin pilot programme designed to improve recycling on Belfast streets has created division at City Hall, over the issue of where to place the new bins.
At this week’s full meeting of Belfast City Council, Sinn Féin and the Green Party were at loggerheads over where to place around 25 bins as part of a £22,000 project attempting to change attitudes to outdoor citizen recycling.
Environmental charity Hubbub recently approached Belfast City Council after securing funding from the Coca-Cola Foundation to run a three month trial in Northern Ireland, as part of its #InTheLoop campaign.
