Copeland Council to offer free recycling lids

Published: 19/03/2018

COPELAND Council has listened to the views of its residents, and is to offer free lids for its new recycling boxes.

The scheme, which collects five separate materials at the kerbside, starts on April 16 and covers 96 per cent of households.

Mayor Mike Starkie said: "We originally planned to charge for the lids but residents have told us they will find it easier to manage their recycling at home by having lids and that they should be free - and we have listened. Every resident on a recycling who wants a lid or cover will be able to collect three free.

EMPLOYERS can boost their chances of filling vacancies by signing up to a work academy programme.

Copeland Work and Skills Partnership runs sector-based academies to help unemployed people get the basic skills, experience and confidence they need to get back into work.

Featuring short training courses, mock interviews, work experience and support with applications, they are delivered in partnership with employers who have current or future vacancies. Employers who have taken part in previous academies have identified candidates for their company.
