Next bin collection

THURSDAY, 23rd January – Blue bin only.**

The SCDC website includes this recycling tip: ‘Food and drink packaging or containers need to be rinsed – they don’t have to be pristine, but food, grease and liquids left inside will spoil paper and card, making it unsuitable for recycling. In turn, wet paper and card sticks to plastic packaging, making that harder to recycle too. These problems result in tonnes of items which could have been recycled having to be disposed of in landfill instead.’

There is more advice – headed by an East Hatley photo! – on what to do with pizza box, real Christmas trees, wrapping paper and greetings cards.

** Collections of green bins have switched from their usual fortnightly collection pattern to monthly collections up to 6th March – the next two green bin collections will be on Thursday, 6th February and Thursday, 6th March.

A reminder – small, used batteries (inside a little bag) can be put on the top of any colour bin. The top, not inside – to prevent another bin lorry fire.

Check our Rubbish collection page for general collection information.

Covid-19

For the current situation, best to go to the government’s information page and pop in your postcode for any local details.

NB  In April 2022 the government withdrew its advice on how to dispose of all personal waste – face coverings, personal protective equipment (PPE), used rapid lateral flow tests and disposable cleaning cloths – simply saying ‘dispose of responsibly’. See this page on the government’s website.
