New recycling facilities have been introduced in the car park of Cirencester’s Waitrose supermarket.

Cotswold District Council has put recycling banks for paper, cans, glass and plastic bottles at the Sheep Street store.

The Council’s Waste Manager, Scott Williams, said: “Funding for these new recycling banks was approved by councillors earlier this year.

“They are part of the Council’s ongoing commitment to increasing recycling facilities in the District and reducing the amount of waste we send to landfill.

“We want to make it easier for residents to recycle as much of their waste as possible and are grateful for the co-operation of retailers who allow us to site facilities on their land.”
