Council to reduce number of small recycling sites
Published: 14/10/2019
FOLLOWING a successful shift in the way residents recycle, Copeland Council will reduce the number of small recycling sites it operates by the end of November.
The council has invested more than half-a-million-pounds in its kerbside recycling service over the past 18 months, which has resulted in collection rates more than doubling.
The significant investment and high level of take-up of the new service means that fewer recycling sites are now required and 15 small sites will be withdrawn.
