Environment
Edinburgh’s streets are cleaner than ever, with 2008 seeing the city achieving its best ever annual independently-assessed cleanliness rating.
More than a third of the food we buy in Scotland each year is thrown directly in the bin yet over half of this could have been eaten.
In 2008, Edinburgh won the ‘city’ category of the Beautiful Scotland awards, Scotland’s top horticultural contest.
At some point, most of us have looked regretfully at something and thought:“I should get rid of that but it seems such a waste. I wish I knew someone who’d want it.”
EDINBURGH is leading the way in the national drive to cut waste.
SOMETIMES it can be a pain trying to remember which recycling box or bin will be collected next from your kerbside, but the Council has just the solution.
