04

Why is POSH using bags and not boxes?

One of the barriers to recycling is the lack of space to store several boxes for recyclables; therefore, we introduced bags which are easy to store. If you have a large amount of recycling you just use more bags. The bags were also seen as way of keeping the pavements clear of obstacles once collected
