Trial recycling bin (red lid)
Bin collection
The blue bin and red lidded bin should be collected once every 4 weeks instead of fortnightly. They will be collected as follows:
- Week 1: Grey bin (household)
- Week 2: Red lidded bin (card / paper)
- Week 3: Grey bin (household)
- Week 4: Blue bin (plastics / cans / glass / cartons)
You can still get help with putting your bins out if needed.
If you have excess materials these can be recycled at the Recycling Village, Middlefields.
If you put the the wrong materials in the bins
We cannot empty bins that contain wrong materials. Wrong materials can contaminate the load.
Bins with wrong items will be stickered / tagged and will not be emptied until the next collection day.
Please remove the wrong items from the bin before the next collection day.
We will not empty recycling bins if they contain:
- plastic carrier bags / sacks of any kind
- food waste
- wood
- textiles
- nappies
- polystyrene
- takeaway pizza boxes
- plastic film and wrappings from boxes
