Nottingham City Council says the bins will help it towards its goal of becoming carbon neutral by 2028
Nottingham residents have welcomed a £400,000 plan to replace litter bins across the city in a move which the city council says will "significantly reduce" its use of plastic bags. Street bins across Nottingham are said to be coming to the end of their 'shelf life', but new 240-litre bins are set to be installed that do not require bin bags to hold rubbish.
Each bin will cost £150 to install, with the project being partly funded by a £291,000 Government grant. The grant will pay for the scheme's first year, with the council then contributing £35,000 annually for three years for maintenance. People in the centre of Nottingham on Monday broadly welcomed the new programme. Nadine Collins, self-employed, 45, lives in West Bridgford and said: "Investment into making the city cleaner is surely a good thing and I think people and businesses will appreciate it. The last thing you want is a business with litter outside of it."
