Bring a bottle and get money off your parking in Leeds

CitiPark have announced an innovative plastic bottle recycling initiative that will allow customers to pay for their parking sessions at the Merrion Centre with 500ml+ plastic bottles during the whole of October.

The bottles will be exchanged for discount vouchers to be put towards parking at one of pay stations. Each bottle equates to a 20p discount on the cost of parking.

Once collected, the plastic will then be recycled into usable items such as shirts, toys and even chairs.

Charlotte-Daisy Ziff, head of corporate social responsibilities at Town Centre Securities, CitiPark’s parent company, said: “Here at CitiPark we believe that we all have a part to play in

ensuring the preservation and betterment of our environment for future generations. So this promotion not only offers our customers the chance of free/discounted parking, but they can also get rid of their waste plastic bottles and contribute to the protection of the environment at the same time: it’s a win-win all around!

“We hope that as many people as possible will get on board.”
