Edinburgh City Council is hoping more Edinburgh residents will get the recycling habit when its brown bin garden waste collection scheme starts up again on 1 April 2008.

As well as several hundred recycling banks dotted around the city, Edinburgh City Council runs four Community Recycling Centres (CRC) where Edinburgh households can take recyclable materials and toxic waste such as old car batteries.
