What it is doing to encourage recycling in Aberdeen.

Answered Asked by Brian Adam SNP Lodged 3 Dec 2012

The question

To ask the Scottish Government what it is doing to encourage recycling in Aberdeen.

The answer

Answered by Richard Lochhead on 12 Dec 2012

The Scottish Government encourages recycling in Aberdeen in the same way that we encourage recycling across the whole of Scotland.
Whether you’re a business or householder, the biggest encouragement to recycle is the availability of a high quality recycling service. This is why we introduced regulations earlier this year to stimulate the roll out of new recycling services to businesses and households across Scotland.
In support of these regulations, a broad program of technical and financial assistance is being provided to businesses and local authorities by Zero Waste Scotland, including the further £1.2 million that I recently announced to support improvements to household waste recycling centres and for improving glass collections.
