recycling sites
The recycling sites across the district are a very popular way of recycling. However, we are encountering the following problems:
- Cardboard boxes being left on the ground - please take your cardboard home with you or recycle it (see chart below).
- If any of the banks are full, please take your recycling home or to another site - do not put it on the ground.
- Carrier bags that are left at ANY of the static sites go to landfill. Carrier bags can be recycled at all of the Household Waste Recycling Centres.
- People leaving items such as TVâs, ironing boards, lawn mowers, bathroom suites etc are FLYTIPPING and liable for prosecution.
