From 30 July you can recycle:
• Plastic pots, tubs and trays
• Drink and food cartons
In addition to plastic bottles and cardboard, you will be able to put yoghurt pots, plastic trays, margarine tubs, ice cream tubs and juice cartons in your blue lidded bin.
Please rinse and squash your recycling where possible.
Plastic films and black plastic cannot be recycled.
Will my collection day change? No, collections will still be fortnightly and collection days will stay the same. Please make sure your bins and recycling containers are out by 7am.
Will we get new bins? No, please use the same containers that you already have. If you need extra recycling bins, please let us know.
What happens to my recycling once it is collected? Materials are sent to a sorting facility where they are separated to maximise their value. If you put the wrong materials in your bin someone has to remove them by hand. The separated materials are processed and made in to new products.
