Cardboard Cut Out of Garden Waste
Letters are going out to householders in the Borough next week with details of changes to the popular recycling service.
From September 8 cardboard will now be collected in the innovative blue bin along with the other recyclables. And shredded paper will go with newspapers and magazines in the bin's internal caddy.
The move has been prompted by advice from the Environment Agency regarding cardboard in the composting process.
Since the new waste collection service was rolled out earlier this year recycling levels in the Borough have rocketed. Household recycling has hit more than 50% and put the Borough as one of the top recycling districts in the UK.
Now residents will receive a letter explaining the change to cardboard and shredded paper as well as getting new stickers for their blue and brown bins.
The success of the new service has also meant waste contractor, Biffa, rescheduling rounds. And around 26,000 homes will be given details of a change in collection day along with a new calendar.
Previously cardboard and shredded paper were collected in the brown garden waste bin and used in the composting process. Now the brown bin will take garden waste only.
