Kerbside recycling collection

From September 2003, the blue recycling bin fortnightly collection service will be extended borough wide. Two sizes of bin are available to residents: 140 litre or 240 litre. Residents are given calendars to remind them of their recycling collection day, which is the same as weekday as their regular refuse collection. Free clear plastic sacks are available if residents cannot accommodate a bin. Materials collected under the scheme include:
        *  All paper, magazines and cardboard
        *  Food and drinks cans
        *  Plastic bottles

A dedicated freighter picks up the recycling, which is kept completely separate from the refuse collection. To obtain more information or order a bin or sacks, please phone the Recycling Helpline on 01252 398164.

NB: Glass cannot be collected in kerbside recycling for health and safety reasons, and because broken glass contaminates the other recyclables. Please take your glass bottles and jars to your local bottle bank.

Compost bins
Residents may add their names to a waiting list for a free, second hand composter. Alternatively, if householders would like to purchase a composter they can phone the Recycling Helpline (01252 398164) to find out about the latest composter offers.

The Wastebusters Club!

Membership is free - members receive: a certificate, a badge and regular newsletters. Each newsletter contains recycling tips, ideas for things to make and do, news of other Wastebusters' achievements, and competitions.
