Recycling changes

The changes to recycling are vital

The processing companies that take the waste that we produce need us to separate paper and card from plastic, tins and glass so that costs to process are minimised. 

In future, the council will be charged for recycling not put into the correct bin or bag.

In 2020/21 the cost of rejection was approx £120 per tonne so if a full vehicle load is rejected it could cost over £1,000.
