New Refuse and Recycling Collection Service 2010

Green Bin

continues in use for normal household waste and household material that cannot yet be recycled.

The weekly green bin collection for normal household waste will no longer be collected weekly but once every two weeks.

Blue Bins will no longer be used for Waste Paper, but will , continue to be used for glass bottles or glass containers for food, and aluminium drinks cans but now also with the addition of plastic bottles, household aerosol cans, deodorant spray cans, hair spray cans and shaving gel cans Collection will be every four week the next being due on

Large Blue Plastic Bags.

Supplies of these have already been issued in Austwick. These are to be used for waste paper and cardboard. Collection will be every two weeks. and the next collection will be on Wednesday the

Brown Bin for garden waste.

There is no change to the garden waste collection scheme

Collection times may vary but are planned to be early

for Austwick and could be at 7.00am

The collection times will now be displayed on a sticker label affixed to your bin.

It is extremely important that we recycle as much as possible. Sadly, this country is many years behind other countries in Europe some of which have been using Wheeley bins for over thirty years.. Please help by sorting waste out and placing it in the correct coloured containers.

Waste Paper including cardboard, may still be left in the Settle Swimming Pool Car Park in the container trailer. The collection there is sold to raise funds to support the Settle Swimming Pool. Please do not pack your paper in plastic bags; keep your paper and cardboard in paper or card containers, or take them loose as there is certain to be empty cardboard boxes you may use at the site.

Please do not leave piles of newspapers in a loose conditions so that they may blow about in the wind.

Please remember that the site is manned by unpaid volunteers; please do all you can to make their work a little easier
