According to a statement by Mpact Recycling, the kerbside programme, initially established to collect magazines and newspapers from households, and the famous green ‘Ronnie bag’ has made a positive impact on the environment and created a culture of recycling for residents since the programme began almost 30 years ago.
“However, as the recycling industry has evolved over time, it has become necessary for Mpact to make changes to its collection processes,” said managing director of Mpact Recycling John Hunt.
Hunt said that Mpact Recycling is committed to creating opportunities for recycling. “We encourage you to take advantage of the collectors in your area and our Ronnie Recycler schools and communities programme.’
Hunt added that they will also continue to back the municipalities and the various separation at source programmes they are running. “The business has been deeply invested in the recycling industry for over 50 years. We will continue innovating and creating new mechanisms to enable people to participate in recycling to make a difference.”
