A RECENT visit to the promenades at both Bournemouth and Boscombe disclosed an absence of previously identifiable recycling bins.

A predictable explanation will be public contamination with incompatible materials.

There is now a reported worldwide shortage of aluminium affecting drinks producers. Such drinks cans are 100 per cent recyclable and I suggest a responsible BCP environmental strategy consider on-the-go recycling specifically targeting drinks cans. Similarly, litter-pickers could collect cans in a separate bag.
