That the Parliament commends the successful re-use don’t bin scheme currently being implemented by East Dunbartonshire Council, in collaboration with Zero Waste Scotland, which has diverted more than 100 special uplift requests for bulky items to local charities rather than landfill; notes the proactive nature of this approach, which seeks to connect people with household items to pass on to local charities and social enterprises via Zero Waste Scotland’s Re-use Line; praises the council for initiating this scheme, and wishes the scheme continued success.
