Belfast Area Introduces Dual Litter Recycling Bins

Construction News Image
Belfast's Titanic Quarter has become the first district in Northern Ireland to replace its traditional rubbish bins with new dual litter recycling bins.

The external public spaces over the area are now home to the latest bins, encouraging the 20,000 people who live, work, visit and stay in Titanic Quarter daily, to think green and recycle.

This forms part of development company Titanic Quarter Ltd's drive to implement environmentally friendly measures, following on from the conversion to an all-electric corporate vehicle fleet in 2020.

Titanic Quarter's Commercial Director, James Eyre, commented: "Providing the infrastructure to encourage everyone to behave in an environmentally friendly manner is an integral part of our philosophy here in Titanic Quarter and we will be continuing to seek innovative ways to reduce our impact on the environment.

"We have replaced our standard rubbish bins with these bespoke dual litter recycling bins enabling everyone who lives, works, visits, or stays in Titanic Quarter to take one step greener by recycling more and help divert waste from landfill. 

"Sustainability is a core value throughout our property development and management activities which include the regeneration of former shipyard land and buildings, delivering sustainable buildings, a place that supports a reduced dependency on the private car and an active and healthy environment for all. For over a decade we have been delivering buildings that have achieved LEED Gold and BREEAM Excellent sustainability ratings."

Lisburn-based manufacturing company Unicorn Urban was appointed by Titanic Quarter to develop, and supply the bespoke dual rubbish recycling bins.  

Luke Hamill, Sales Manager at Unicorn Urban added: "We are delighted to work with Titanic Quarter on such an important recycling initiative – sustainability and durability are at the core of everything we do at Unicorn Urban."
