Glass recycling bin areas in the town of Drogheda should be re-imagined spaces

Posted by Lisa O'Connell on Mar 22, 2021

Instead of people perceiving the glass recycling bins that are positioned around the town, as areas to dump stuff, they should be transformed into areas that invite/encourage people to think sustainably/ about the environment. These spaces could fit a small sustainable type business- be that a place where people brought products to be refilled, some sort of area for growing fresh herbs/plants/veg or simply some tasty local produce could be sold. Currently they attract vermin due to rubbish strewn all over the areas which is really unfortunate because they are in interesting spaces with a lot of potential.

Hello GrĂ¡inne, Great to see a response here about this idea. It would be great to see a group of interested minds come together to discuss. It could possibly be a mix of a social enterprise initiative driven by a collaboration of people- local businesses, currently unemployed skilled trades people and I feel that through a well marketed volunteer call, local people would most likely want to be involved.

VERY interesting idea. I would think there is strong scope for social enterprise or even a volunteer driven, community led model for this challenge. Would be interested in discussing further
