Students across the Motherwell , Coatbridge and Cumbernauld campuses at New College Lanarkshire will trial a financial incentive to encourage recycling through the use of Reverse Vending Machines (RVMs). ‌

Environmental charity Keep Scotland Beautiful is partnering with the college and Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) to introduce a 20p reward - redeemable at the college's canteens - for every can and plastic bottle recycled through RVMs on campuses during September. ‌
