 The scheme gives prisoners the opportunity to learn new skills and earn a wage, while improving local rates of FPD recycling and reducing unnecessary transportation of recyclable materials.The same year saw the Recycling Lives UK charity enter into a 15-year contract with Chorley Borough Council to jointly occupy the Council’s Bengal Street site and establish scrap metal buying and WEEE recycling facilities there.Planning permission has also been submitted for the conversion of the existing offices on site into accommodation for further charity residents.
