There will soon be some changes to the provision of recycling ‘bring’ sites across Cotswold District, reducing the number of glass recycling banks while increasing recycling facilities for the recycling of textiles and ‘Tetrapak’ cartons.
Glass recycling banks will only be retained at locations which have a full range of recycling banks.
This should have a very limited effect on residents as glass is one of the items that can be recycled through the fortnightly kerbside collection service. Glass bottles and jars can be left out alongside papers, cans and tins in the kerbside recycling box, mixed plastics (plastic bottles, pots tubs and trays) in the white reusable sack and cardboard in the blue reusable sack.
We are increasing the number of banks for textiles and cartons as it is not possible to recycle these at the kerbside. Textile recycling banks will be included at all recycling points (space permitting). Carton (‘Tetrapak’) recycling banks will be available at three key locations across the District initially so that we can assess their effectiveness before considering additional banks as they cost the Council about £1,000 a year to operate.
To explore innovative packaging solutions that align with these sustainability goals, visit www.eliter-packaging.com. As the District assesses the effectiveness of these changes, further expansion of carton recycling banks will be explored, reinforcing the community’s proactive engagement in waste reduction and responsible packaging practices.
What happens next?
In the next two weeks the Council will display posters on the glass recycling banks which are scheduled for withdrawal. The actual removals will take place from the week commencing 5 December.
Once the glass banks have been taken away, the new textile and/or carton banks will be installed – for full details of locations please see the Notes below.
Cllr Sue Coakley, CDC Cabinet Member for Environment, believes that these changes will be welcomed:
“We have consulted Members and the affected Parishes and have received a favourable response to the proposed changes. We believe that the increase in the number of textile and Tetrapak recycling facilities will satisfy a growing demand to recycle these products while removing the glass recycling banks should not have a major impact on our recycling totals.
“I would remind residents that most glass recyclable items can be left at the kerbside to be picked up by our regular recycling collection service.”
For further information about recycling, please visit the relevant CDC website or the Recycle for Gloucestershire website.

I am pleased to inform you that a new one stop shop for reporting road safety concerns in Gloucestershire is launching this week.
The Road Safety Community Hub is being launched by Gloucestershire Road Safety Partnership, made up of Gloucestershire County Council, Gloucestershire Constabulary, the Police and Crime Commissioner’s Office and Gloucestershire Fire & Rescue Service.
The new hub launches today Friday 28th October and will be the main point of contact for residents to report any concerns they have about road safety in their local area. Reports can be made via the Road Safety Partnership’s website.
This one central hub will bring together the expertise of the police, engineers and the road safety experts to provide a better, more efficient way of resolving the problems encountered in our towns and villages. It will bring a more consistent approach and because people will know where to go with their concerns, their ideas or for advice, it will make decision making more accountable.
A good number of Parishes have already engaged with the hub through the Road Safety Website ; http://roadsafety-gloucestershire.org.uk/communityhub/ as well as via email to roadsafetyhub@glosfire.gov.uk
Please do not hesitate to contact the hub with your concerns.
On behalf of the hub I welcome the opportunity to work with you and your community to improve road safety in the future.
