Case study Friarton recycling centre Perth
When Perth and Kinross Council were developing
education and awareness initiatives, they decided to
work with Perth in Bloom to create an Education Centre
which could be used to make people, particularly
children, aware of the problems of creating and dealing
with waste.
An area of Friarton Recycling Centre has been
transformed into an outdoor classroom. A raised
boardwalk skirts the collection area enabling a view of
how the public sort waste into collecting points for
paper, glass, metal etc. It also looks over the waste
transfer station dealing with industrial and kerb side
collection. The boardwalks will be used to display
teaching aids and to guide groups of children along a
pathway of learning. They will discover the history of
Perth and its waste, what was produced and how it was
dealt with; culminating in how it is collected and
recycled now.
Collecting and sorting waste is only part of the journey
to recycling. It then has to be processed into something
useful before it can be considered truly recycled.
Friarton is showing the final products in use. Marmax
recycled plastic boardwalking was the ideal choice. It
needs no maintenance and is itself a recycled product.
Over twenty five tons of recycled plastic was used. This
is equivalent to over 500,000 drink bottles, or 70m3
crushed bottles. The whole area has been created out of
recycled products. Marmax path edging has been used to
retain recycled glass, rubber, wood chippings and slag
path surfaces. The compost is made from recycled garden
waste and ahs been seeded as a meadow. Even the
components of some of the interpretation element
originally came for the site.
