Kerbside Recycling Survey
Council Tax Payers in Kinross are being asked if they would be willing to pay for an extra garden and food waste bin. Over the summer brown-lidded bins became a controversial issue after local residents acted angrily to the councils decision to limit their collections. The local authority reached it’s capacity in its ability to deal with the garden rubbish and food scarps after rolling out a recycling scheme to scale back the amount of waste going into landfill. This lead to only one brown-lidded bin being collected per household and over 100 complaints to the council.
All residents are now being invited to take part in an online survey about kerbside recycling collection scheme for mixed food and garden waste
