Park visitors in Sharjah have now been given a ‘green bin’ to dispose of their recyclable waste.
Bee’ah, the Sharjah Environment Company, announced yesterday that it has set up 268 pedestrian recycling containers at several parks in Sharjah. These containers allow park visitors to deposit their recyclable waste and thereby contribute to a recycling scheme initiated by the company.
"It’s appropriate that visitors to some of Sharjah’s most beautiful areas can now contribute to the environmental health of the emirate," said Samer Kamal, Managing Director, Bee’ah. "Now the parks of Sharjah are green in more than just appearance."
The installation of the ‘green bins’ follows a highly successful trial on the Buhairah Corniche, where 130 containers were installed, requiring them to be emptied daily.
In the areas that see the greatest footfall, visitors will have to walk no further than 50 metres to deposit their recyclable waste.
