A train station in Bromley will be the site for a new recycling scheme trial designed to help commuters recycle cans and plastic bottles. Three new recycling units will be placed at the station and Bromley Council will be in charge of emptying and recycling the waste collected there.
Southeastern will partner with Bromley South station for the scheme set to began March 2. For the first time, commuters at this station will be capable of separating out their paper, plastic, and metal can garbage avoiding sending such waste to a landfill.
The Bromley Council has said that it will be responsible for emptying the three recycling units and hopes to recycle at least 10 tonnes of waste per year.
James Cleverly, Chairman at London Waste and Recycling Board as well as an assembly member for Bromley and Bexley, was on hand to announce the new scheme which began last week.
He said that Bromley is at the top of the London spectrum in terms of household and business recycling. He added that the community is happy to provide commuters with the means to recycle and maintain good habits which have begun in the household.
The scheme will operate between partners Recycle Zone, Metro Newspapers, and the council at Bromley South station.
