Main Issues Report Consultation
A major public consultation on future development in Perth and Kinross will continue this month. The Main Issues Report consultation gives local residents and businesses the chance to help shape the future of the area. A series of drop-in information sessions are being held around Perth and Kinross to ensure that as many people as possible take part. The findings of the consultation will help shape the area’s new Local Development Plan. At the drop-in sessions the public can view exhibitions displaying ideas and chat informally to Council officers and other members of the community. With the latest edition of the Yellow Pages beginning to drop onto local doorsteps, Perth & Kinross Council is encouraging residents to recycle their old copies.
Telephone Directory Recycling
For the first time, householders on the kerbside recycling service can now put the directories in their blue-lidded kerbside bins, as well as in paper banks at local Recycling Centres and Points, which are available all year round to recycle old and unwanted phone books. The Council would like to advise residents using Recycling Centres and Points that they should disregard signs on paper banks stating "No Telephone Directories". These signs are out of date and will be replaced in the near future, and old directories can be put into the paper banks along with other paper waste for recycling. Environment Convener, Councillor Alan Grant said: "This is an excellent opportunity to recycle your old Yellow Pages, as well as any other telephone directories and paper products that people are looking to dispose of. With around 70,000 new directories due to be delivered over the next few weeks, the old versions will create a substantial volume of waste within a relatively short time period. The more that are recycled means less will go to landfill, and instead the Yellow Pages will be recycled into new paper products."
