“Coronation Street is committed to portraying real life and the issues currently affecting society as a whole, therefore we felt it important to introduce recycling facilities to the Street. We have also broached the subject of being more environmentally aware through recent storylines with character, Roy Cropper (played by David Nielsen) who undertook recycling in his café, Roy’s Rolls. We hope this will encourage the public to do the same and get on board with Recycle Now to recycle more.”

Viewers will be able spot the recycling bins on set including a green-wheeled bin for individual households in the terraced backyards, an industrial recycling bin for cardboard and paper outside the ‘Underworld’ factory, and community recycling banks for food and drinks cans, clear glass bottles and jars and magazines and newspapers outside the Medical Centre.

Straight PLC, a Leeds based recycling container company, provided the individual and factory recycling bins, and LINPAC Environmental, a plastics company based in Wiltshire, produced the community recycling banks.
