Are the right things going in your blue bin?

Residents are being reminded to take extra care when putting recycling in their blue bin this Christmas.

 

Over the festive period, the Council understand that there will be plenty of wrapping paper, cards and everything in between.

 

To help crews this Christmas, they ask you only put the correct materials in your blue bin. Unfortunately, in recent weeks, there have been a number of contaminants found in these bins including used nappies, car seats and tin cans.

 

Sadly, this means the material that should be recycled often can’t be accepted when it reaches the recycling plant.

 

Ultimately, the hard work by residents who recycle correctly goes to waste. To ensure this doesn’t happen, make sure to check what should and what should not be going in your blue bin.

 

Some of the unwanted items found in recent weeks should be placed the grey bin and others in the green bin.

 

For example, used nappies and items such as car seats need to be placed in the green bin or can be taken to the Community Recycling Centres (CRCs) if your bin is full.

 

Alternatively, washed plastic bottles, tubs and trays, food tins and drink cans and glass bottles and jars go in the grey bin and can also be recycled at the CRCs if you run out of space.
