A lorry load of green boxes and two recycling skips have been delivered to St Neots Community College to help create a greener environment.
Huntingdonshire District Council delivered the boxes and were greeted by students and Councillor Paula Longford whose responsibilities include waste and recycling.
Cllr Longford said: "I am delighted to see the young people are keen to recycle waste at the college. As well as creating a greener environment it will help to reduce waste costs by half. This is an excellent scheme and
I look forward to seeing it introduced to other
schools and colleges."
St Neots Community College is the first secondary school in St Neots to work with the council in introducing recycling facilities.
