Have your say!
Since last November, we've been asking visitors to Forfar Recycling Centre to sort waste they bring in containers such as black bags, boxes or suitcases.
We introduced a new sorting station to make it easier to separate material for recycling.
Now we want to know what you think of these changes.
The story so far
So far the pilot sorting scheme has resulted in over 6.5 tonnes of materials being recycled.
This material would otherwise have gone up in smoke at the incineration plant!
Your efforts have saved:
1.5 tonnes of metal, small electrical items and batteries
more than half a tonne each of textiles and rubble
almost two tonnes of paper, card, plastic bottles and containers, cans and cartons - which can all be recycled in bins at home!
more than a tonne of food waste
nearly half a tonne of glass bottles and jars
What do you think of the changes?
If you've visited Forfar Recycling Centre since the sorting pilot started, tell us what you think of the changes with our short survey.
It should take no longer than two minutes.
Your answers will help guide our approach to introducing waste sorting at other recycling centres in Angus.
Zero Waste Scotland, who funded the project, will also use your feedback to help other Scottish councils implement waste sorting.
