"This additional budget is required for additional brown bin sales requiring the purchase of bins as a result of Covid-19 and additional green bin requests as more people are at home and recycling more as a result of Covid-19."
The council gives extra green bins out for free to household who recycle so much it is always full.
I adds the money will also pay to replace some existing bins, which are between 8 and 14 years old and nearing the end of their life.
