Leeds recycling firm wins £1.4 million contract with Birmingham City Council

Straight plc, the Leeds-based recycling group, has been awarded a £1.4 million contract with Birmingham City Council

They will supply more than 300,000 of their 55 litre Wheeled Bin Inner Caddy which converts a standard two-wheeled bin into a recycling station with two compartments.

Residents will use the main compartment of their wheeled bin to collect dry recyclable packaging, whilst the Wheeled Bin Inner Caddy will be used to collect both paper and card.

The contract follows a successful trial in 17,000 households, where the product proved very popular with residents.

The combination of the Straight Wheeled Bin Inner Caddy with a standard wheeled bin provides a much neater, more organised and effective solution for the collection of recyclables.

The internal caddy converts a standard wheeled bin into a recycling station and allows a dual-stream comingled collection within the space a single wheeled bin occupies.Two material streams can be kept completely separate thereby avoiding contamination.
