Remember, "recycling" requires an unsustainable amount of oil/diesel to be used by the council and their contractors. Please compost at home and leave as much packaging with retailers as possible.
Examples of what can be recycled: - Paper: Newspapers, magazines, telephone directories, brochures and junk mail
- Glass: Clean jars and bottles eg sauce, jam, beer and wine bottles
- Cans: Clean food and drink cans eg baked beans, soft drinks (wash and squash)
- Clean plastics only, e.g. pop, milk, water, shampoo, detergent), please squash.
- All clean food containers (eg butter, yoghurt pots, ready meals, fruit punnets).
- Cardboard: must be flattened and any packaging must be removed.
- Garden waste : Grass / Hedge cuttings, Prunings, leaves, plants and flowers and Non-invasive weeds
- Aerosols: they must be empty but may include furniture polish, hair spray and deodrants
- Cartons: such as fruit juice, milkshakes and fruit, please rinse them
- Clean foil: please remove all traces of food and chemicals before adding them to your container
Place in either disposable biodegradable sacks or new re-usable fabric bags; both can be bought from council offices. (Biodegradable 3 for £1 / re-usable £1 each). Bags will be collected once every 2 weeks on the same day as plastic/cardboard.
