The new bins are aimed at helping to increase the amount of materials recycled.
New recycling bins have been introduced in schools across South Ayrshire, thanks to funding from the Scottish Government’s Recycling Improvement Fund - administered by Zero Waste Scotland.
The council's Waste Management team have been working with colleagues in education to distribute the new bins to all schools, which mirror the domestic waste collection bins used in homes in the area. South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder Buildings, Housing and Environment, Councillor Martin Kilbride, said: “We currently recycle 54.3 per cent amount of waste in South Ayrshire, and the new bins should increase recycling by 122 tonnes per annum – decreasing CO2e by 125 tonnes per annum.
Councillor Stephen Ferry, South Ayrshire Council’s Portfolio Holder for Education, said: “This is an excellent initiative to introduce in our schools, and I’m delighted that every pupil will now have the opportunity to recycle their waste both at home and in school.
