Paper recyling in Portobello?

Post by sconegrrl » 10 Sep 2005, 11:59

Hello! Can anyone tell me where there is a collection bin thing for newspaper recycling? I've kept an eye out but can't see any. The mountain of old papers in my box room is threatening to collapse and squash me. I've noticed that some houses get those blue plastic bags to put their stuff in. I'm in a main door flat on the High Street, but don't get anything like that.

sconegrrl, there's one on the High Street outside the Health Centre (opposite the top of Marlborough St). We use it (too) occasionally......when we remember :oops:

We used to have a blue bag until the pick up men left it lying in the street and a dog peed on it :D
Enough of your nonsense - get back to the Play Pen!

Mucho thanks. I don't venture along that way very often, time for a trip methinks!

There's also a paper bank opposite the Foresters - and for all types of recycling go to the carpark at the indoor bowling centre!!
