Useful hints and tips
Please
have your blue box or wheelie bins out by 6:30am, as round times may change
from week to week and we cannot guarantee what time our collectors will
arrive.
- Your blue box or wheelie bins must be placed safely at or as near to
the kerbside as possible - to be clearly visible to the collectors. There
are strict guidelines given to our collectors about what is an acceptable
distance to collect boxes.
- Do not place recyclables in black sacks as they will be collected as
normal refuse.
- Do not use plastic carrier bags for your recyclables.
- All recyclable items should be placed together in your recyling blue
box or wheelie bin.
- Clean out all recyclable cans and bottles. Soiled items attract pests
and will not be collected.
- Remove any lids and caps from bottles.
- Households that produce a lot of recyclable material may request additional
blue boxes or a larger recycling wheelie bin please telephone (01273) 263133. For
more information about the new wheeled bin service see : AWS
website (www.aws.gov.uk/CollectionServices/Recycling)
- If you have missed your collection you can either save your recyclable
materials to the next collection or take them to your nearest mini
recycling centre.
- If items are left in your recycling box it is because we cannot recycle
them through our scheme or because they are soiled. Wheeled bins will be
tagged telling you of any probelms with what you have put in your recycling
bin.
