The council says the introduction of this red bag has seen a
massive increase in participation and the generosity from local residents has
supported a scheme which provides employment opportunities for local people
with and without disabilities.
After a successful trial in Rhyl, the scheme will now be rolled
out further with the intention of delivering the red bags to all properties in
the county which receive the x2 wheelie bin service.
The red bag is for any unwanted textiles (including children’s
and adults’ clothes, shoes, belts, handbags, curtains and bedding, but not
pillows or duvets, and will be collected on the same day as your blue bin.
The support from local residents has allowed Co-Options to
extend their shop on Wellington Road, Rhyl and‘Kit Out the Kids’, now sells a
full range of adult clothing too.
John Turner, of Co-Options, said: “We would like to thank
everybody for your tremendous support so far.
“If you have not yet received one of our red bags, we have not
missed you. It is our intention; to hand deliver a red bag to each property who
receives the x2 wheelie bin service over the upcoming months.”
