Last chance to get £5 discount - pay by Saturday 30 June!
The garden waste collection service runs from 1 June 2018 to 31
May 2019 which includes 12 four-weekly collections, with no collections from 3
December 2018 to 2 January 2019.
The full
payment for the service is £36 per year, but if you pay before 30 June 2018 you will get your garden waste
collected for a discounted rate of just £31.
If you
would like extra garden waste bins emptying, the full price for each additional bin is £18, but during the discount period additional bins will be
charged at just £15.50 per bin. Don't forget to pay by Saturday 30 June to get your discount!
If you have already paid for the garden waste collection service but your licence sticker has not arrived yet, don't worry, just put your bin out as normal and we will empty it.
 If you are waiting for a new wheelie bin to be delivered, please bear with us as there is a delay due to issues with the supplier/manufacturer.
We are sorry for any inconvenience caused, but we will get them out to you as soon as they are delivered to us. Thanks for your patience.
Does your bin need repairing?
|
If your wheelie bin needs repairing, this service is free. We hold a stock of lids and wheels and we try to repair bins where possible. If we can’t repair the damage you will have to request a new bin.
If you need a recycling bin, they are free, you can have more than one recycling bin. Request a bin repair or order a new bin here.
We had a great time this weekend at the Dragon Boat Festival in Saltaire talking to people about recycling and helping them with their queries about recycling.
We will also be taking our recycling stand to Thornton Gala on Saturday 21 July and to Keighley Show on Saturday 1 September. Come and see us there to find out more.
The most popular questions were...
"Why can't we put takeaway coffee cups in the recycling bin?" and "What about plastic bags?" but interestingly lots of people were saying that now they are recycling more they have much more room in their general waste bin, which is great news!
Here's a reminder of items we don't want in your recycling bin...
- Plastic bags, bin bags, cellophane, cling film or bubble wrap – these are a low grade plastic which also get tangled in the sorting machine
- Crisp packets, biscuit and sweet
wrappers
- Plastic plant pots or seed trays
- Plastic toys or kitchenware such as kettles and washing up bowls
- Foam/polystyrene take away cups, food trays or packaging
- Waxed/coated cardboard take away drink cups - the card and plastic cannot be separated
- Mirrors or sheets of glass - these can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre
- Pyrex jugs or dishes - made from toughened/treated glass
- Paint tins or oil cans - these can be taken to your local Household Waste Recycling Centre
- Wallpaper - some have adhesive or coatings on them which can’t be separated
- Greetings cards with glitter, foil or beads
- Colostomy bags, incontinence pads, nappies, dog poo, food waste.
Other items such as syringes, needles, sharps, light bulbs, batteries, car parts, car batteries, bricks, wood, carpets, textiles, electrical items including cookers, dryers, vacuum cleaners, gas bottles or hazardous waste should be taken to your local household waste recycling centre where as much as possible will be recycled. Alternatively, for a small charge you can request a bulky waste collection.
