Recycle Right in Doncaster
We often get asked why blue bins are tagged and not taken for collection...
Here are some examples of contaminated materials, which show why a tag has been issued and the waste not taken away.
The pictures are examples from Doncaster households and include nappies, food waste, plastic carrier bags and bin liners. These cannot be sent for recycling in Doncaster and contribute to an annual cost of £300k to rectify so please put them in your black bin.
Despite what it may say on the label, plastic pots, tubs, and trays are typically a low-grade plastic and harder to recycle, so please put them in your black bin as well.
We have a full A-Z guide which can be used to help decide what goes in to what bin:
