A MAJOR boost for recycling in York will see 80 paper recycling banks distributed throughout the city.
The 80 banks are being prepared at Yorwaste in Hessay, near York, before they are put in car parks, shopping centres and community areas.
The executive member for environment and sustainability, Coun Andrew Waller, joined recycling manager at Yorwaste, John Miller, at the Hessay site for the launch today.
The igloo-shaped banks are being provided as part of a partnership between the City of York Council, Yorwaste, and Shotton Paper Mill, the largest newsprint mill in the UK.
