Two bins were removed from Costa coffee in
Now a second Solihull Metropolitan Borough Council trial –
outside M&S and Iceland
on the Stratford Road – has
collected 138kg.
A borough wide schemes of 30 bins would have included two in
Knowle and one in Dorridge.
But a council report says: “That the scheme is not extended
as the cost of implementing a borough wide scheme would be at a significant
cost and would have a minimal impact on recycling performance as the bins are
being used predominantly as litter bins and not recycling units.”
A borough-wide scheme would collect an estimated four tonnes
a year but cost £20,250 to install and £8,200 to maintain a year, it said.
The council provides recycling bins for events and these
proved popular, it added.
