North Somerset Council has initiated a trial of new bins featuring four separate compartments, aiming to streamline household waste and recycling processes while reducing litter.

Termed ‘Quatro’ bins, these larger bins with three wheels and a lid have already gained popularity in Scandinavia for their efficiency.

Participants residing in north Somerset will utilize these new-style bins in place of their current multiple recycling and waste containers.

The collection of these bins will be conducted by a specialized recycling vehicle equipped with a unique lifting mechanism that matches the bin’s four compartments to the lorry’s four collection chambers.

Lucy Shomali, Director of Place at North Somerset Council, expressed enthusiasm about the trial, emphasizing the innovative nature of the technology being tested in the UK.

While acknowledging the council’s already commendable recycling track record, Shomali highlighted their commitment to further improving efficiency and effectiveness in waste collection.

The ‘Quatro’ system has been successfully implemented in Scandinavian countries for approximately two decades.

If the trial proves successful and the new system is adopted, the council anticipates a reduction in collection journeys required for household recycling and waste, resulting in decreased pollution, reduced road congestion, and cost savings for the council.

Lucy emphasized that the current trial phase is purely experimental, and no commitment has been made beyond this initial testing.

Based on feedback and outcomes, further trials will be necessary before councilors can review the results and determine the best course of action.

Residents not participating in the trial will not experience any alterations to their existing waste collection arrangements.

As North Somerset Council explores this trailblazing waste management approach, they align their efforts with their vision of becoming a leading authority in waste minimization and addressing the climate emergency.
