Recycling boost - A Veolia site in Southend. Inset - Wheelie bins WHEELIE bins could be introduced in Southend to replace rubbish sacks, with collections moved to bi-weekly to encourage recycling. Southend Council has fallen short of its 50 per cent target for recycling in the last two years. Currently, black bin bags are used for general waste and pink sacks are used for recycling with both collected weekly. However, new plans could see wheelie bins introduced with recycling collected one week and general waste next week. A campaign to raise public awareness is also on the cards via awareness days, posters, adverts, leaflets and competitions.
