The enhanced service, providing much more recycling capacity, comprises the following collection “streams”, which will improve both the quantity and quality of recycling:
- New bin. Paper and cardboard will be collected separately in new 240-litre wheelie bins
- Existing green bin. Metals (tins and cans), most plastics (pots, tubs, trays and bottles) and glass
- Existing black bin. Anything that cannot be recycled or put into food waste
- Food waste. We will provide all households with a new, 23-litre food caddy and liners
- Garden waste bin. Residents can opt for a seasonal garden waste collection
