Re-turn survey reveals 79% of the public back on-the-go recycling and want bin surrounds in their own communities. The company is continuing to expand its successful bin surrounds initiative across Ireland. As part of the next stage of expansion, an additional 42 new bin surrounds have been installed in Navan Town Centre.
Clare, Cavan, Westmeath and Limerick will follow over the coming months as the bin surrounds programme continues to expand. This expansion builds on the successful rollout of bin surrounds in Dublin City Centre, Galway City Centre and Carlow Town Centre. This initiative aims to make on-the-go recycling visible and accessible while reducing litter and preserving valuable recyclable materials.
Navan Municipal District Area Manager and Director of Services, Martin Murray commenting on the launch: “Meath County Council is pleased to collaborate with Re-turn in the launch of this vital on-the-go recycling initiative. Our objective is to foster a cleaner and more sustainable community for all residents. I firmly believe that Meath is leading the way in advocating for on-the-go recycling practices and promoting a low-carbon future. This initiative is critical and will facilitate positive, sustainable, and impactful change.”
Commenting on the launch, Ciaran Hope, Chief Operating Officer at Re-turn, said: “Re-turn is delighted to collaborate with Navan Town Centre on this vital on-the-go recycling initiative. Our objective is to make recycling more visible, accessible, and convenient for the public, while also helping to reduce litter and preserve valuable materials. With 42 new bin surrounds now installed in Navan, following the roll out in Dublin, Galway and Carlow, with further rollouts planned across Clare, Cavan, Westmeath, and Limerick, we are proud to see strong public support for this programme. Together with Meath County Council, we are building stronger recycling habits, creating a cleaner, more sustainable future for our communities.”
Research from Re-turn found that containers left on the bin surrounds were collected on average within 16 minutes. A survey carried out by Re-turn reveals that 79% of the public support on-the-go recycling schemes and would welcome a similar scheme in their local area.
This next phase is being co-funded on an equal basis by Re-turn and participating local authorities, working together to deliver practical solutions that support cleaner streets, stronger recycling habits, lower landfill rates and a reduction in environmental pollution.
