A bin designed to stop plastic waste from reaching rivers and seas has been unveiled in Windsor.

The BinForGreenSeas, donated by GreenSeas Trust, was revealed on Wednesday, October 23, as part of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead's initiative for a cleaner, greener borough.

The bin, located opposite the Diamond Jubilee Water Fountains, provides information on recyclable items and a QR code for further details.

The bin was unvieled by the Mayor of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead.

Councillor Mark Wilson, cabinet member for corporate services, said: "I was proud to see a BinForGreenSeas installed by Windsor’s riverside, a treasured spot for both residents and tourists.

"The generous donation from GreenSeas Trust highlights our commitment to working in partnership with the community and charity sector whenever possible."

The mayor, Councillor Simon Bond, said: "It was great to see this bin unveiled, which will help to encourage more people to recycle.

"I was also able to hear more about the work GreenSeas Trust are doing, and would like to thank them for providing this bin."

Fazilette Khan, founder and trustee of the GreenSeas Trust, said: "We are pleased to donate this BinForGreenSeas to the Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead and for it to be proudly on display in view of Windsor Castle."

GreenSeas Trust aims to educate, promote, and implement environmental programmes to eliminate plastics entering seas, rivers, and coastal areas.
