ECO Island are about to commence the underground construction work for it's first two underground recycling systems in the UK. Work will start shortly for two ECO6 (6x 1280 litre) bin/container systems on behalf of Service Stockton.

PR9.NET August 24, 2004 - The two ECO6 systems will be installed at high-rise/high density multi-occupancy council flats to encourage local residents to separate at source, certain items from their general household refuse, into the recycling stream and away from Landfill.

The existing 'Blue Box' system currently operated across the Borough by Service Stockton for 'kerbside-friendly houses' is impracticable for high-rise situations and therefore, a more convenient 'Blue Bag' will be distributed to the local high-rise residents. The systems will be used for the safe and secure storage of paper, glass, tins cans and plastics and lead to increased recycling statistics on behalf of the local Borough. By storing the containers underground, Service Stockton will reduce local noise when glass items are deposited, and provide a more discreet and aesthetically pleasing recycling storage solution to the local community at the same time, remove the containers and their contents from potential vandalism to a more secure location.

Waist high surface level receptors are shaped for the appropriate recycling materials being discarded and which will prevent general refuse from being deposited, making the systems more user friendly to the elderly and disabled persons.

A third ECO6 system is currently pending Planning Permission for similar use elsewhere in the Borough.
