Reading Borough Council have announced plans for another 9 bottle banks to add to the current total of 25 around the Borough, but they need your help.

Steve Waite, Reading Lead Councillor for Environment for the next six months said: "Glass recycling in Reading has reached new heights as bottles pile up uncollected on doorsteps, but it's important not to rest on our laurels and I'll have my guts for garters if introduce kerbside recycling just because those pesky Lib Dems councillors in Redlands think it's a good idea. We've tried our best to fend of their campaign by promising another 21 bottle banks around town, but unless we're really careful, we're going to have to finally locate one in their ward. If anyone can think of alternative locations for them, we'd be most grateful."
