Next bin collection

Thursday, 30th July – Black bin.

  • Regarding your waste, South Cambs District Council says: ‘Most packaging can be recycled in blue bins, including cardboard, plastic and foil. Foil pieces should be collected together and scrunched into a ball approximately the size of a tennis ball before recycling.
  • ‘It also helps to flatten cardboard boxes and squash plastic bottles – then you can fit more recycling in.
  • ‘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; plastic bottles should be squashed.
  • ‘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.’

    • 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 bin lorries catching fire (which has happened several times over the last year or so).

    Check our Rubbish collection page for general collection information.

    Our blue bin rubbish now goes to Newry in Northern Ireland for processing – to a ‘state-of-the-art facility’ in Newry, says an SCDC press release. Previously it was processed in Waterbeach; there is no indication of when the 812 mile round trip will cease.
