The answer

Answered by Richard Lochhead on 22 Apr 2009 · 27 days after it was lodged, on time

The Scottish Government has not undertaken any investigation into the use of underground recycling facilities in urban areas.
The Scottish Government understands however that three local authorities in Scotland operate underground recycling facilities, and they may be able to provide you with information on any investigatory work undertaken prior to adopting these systems. The local authorities are Dundee, East Dunbartonshire and Edinburgh.
