Hospitals in Devon are set to introduce a recycling initiative that will reduce the NHS’s carbon footprint.
Across the county, 21 community hospitals run by Devon Primary Care Trust and Devon Partnership Trust will increase the amount of waste they can recycle by segregating it.
The recycling scheme, to be overseen by Mid Devon Community Recycling, will include the safe recycling of electrical equipment, as well as paper, cardboard, plastic, tins, aluminium drink cans, glass, batteries, printer cartridges, hand towels, newspapers and magazines.
Devon is the first PCT in the South West to award a recycling contract in place of domestic waste arrangements.
