Disposing of waste correctly
May 14th 2025, by SamM
Proper waste disposal is important for a clean and healthy environment
You should always use the right bags for different waste types: food waste in compostable bags and general waste in black bags. This helps ensure that waste is collected correctly.
Recycling is important too
Use designated bins for paper, cardboard, plastics, glass and cans. Rinse containers to avoid contamination, and check recycling symbols, as not all plastics can be recycled.
Hazardous waste, such as chemicals, batteries, and electronics, must be disposed of separately to protect health and the environment.
Always dispose of waste on designated collection days to avoid attracting pests and creating issues for neighbours.
