To ask the Scottish Parliamentary Corporate Body whether it will consider having recycling bins for cans in the MSP office corridors.
Answer
There are blocks of recycling bins along each of the floors in the Members block, this includes a can bin at each of the tea points. There are fewer of these bins than other types of recycling bins because we generate fewer cans than other types of recycling. We are reviewing the recycling points in the MSP block and we plan to add another set of can bins to each floor. We have also recently had to order a replacement can bin for the second-floor tea point, so this bin has been temporarily unavailable but will be back by Friday 8th December.
