Council has made a commitment to increasing recycling capacity and that will mean upcoming changes to the service.
Until then the collection service will run as normal, with all recyclable materials collected each week.
HAVE YOU RUN OUT OF SINGLE USE PLASTIC BAGS?
With the Government phase-out of single-use plastic shopping bags now in effect, residents may need to find alternative containers in which to place the four types of recycling - aluminium, glass, paper and plastic.
If recycling isn't separated, it can't be collected by our contractors.
The collectors need to quickly identify each type of recycling and be able to lift it into the trailer. Any medium sized container - approximately the size of the 20L crate - will do. This could be a sturdy cardboard box or a plastic container, basket, bucket or bin or an opaque kitchen tidy-bag. The contractors will empty and leave any of your alternative re-usable plastic containers on the kerb for you to use again. (If you use a cardboard box or plastic bag these will probably be collected along with your recycling and taken away).
