Let's get it sorted for National Recycling Week
Information hangers on bins to help you Recycle Right
We are encouraging everyone to put the right waste and recycling items in the right bins. In particular, we want residents to put the right items in their green recycling bin.
Most of our residents are great recyclers, but some residents are placing so many wrong items in the green recycling bins that their bins cannot be emptied. When this happens our crews are placing an information hanger on the bin providing advice about the wrong items. Residents can then either take out the wrong items and the bin will be emptied on their next scheduled collection or they can take them to the local tip.
The hangers are intended to provide information to residents and we would remind residents to always be respectful to our crews.
In Eastleigh there are ONLY SIX items that should go in your green recycling bin. These are:
- Only plastic bottles
- Aluminium cans
- Metal tins
- Paper
- Cardboard (not pizza boxes)
- Empty aerosols.
Anything else should be placed in your general waste bin. When it comes to placing items in your recycling bin, simply remember 'if in doubt, leave it out!'
