Waste disposal and recycling

Bins

There are 4 wheelie bins and one food waste bin:

• • Blue wheelie bin is for recycled waste (see below for rules).


• • Brown wheelie bin is for garden waste (this will only be used by our gardener, Thomas Filipek).


• • Green food waste bin (see below for rules).


• • Black wheelie bin is for all other waste.

Kitchen bins

There are 4 bins in the kitchen:

• • Under the sink is a grey bin for food waste – this should be put in the green food waste bin outside.


• • The under-worksurface cupboard to the far right of the sink contains 2 bins.
• The one in front is for general waste and should be put in the black bin outside.
• The one behind is for recycling and should be put in the blue bin outside.


• • In the dark green cabinet in the cupboard next to the utility room door is a second, larger, bin for recycling. This should also be put in the blue bin outside.

Collection cycle

The collections alternate every other week:

• • Week 1, Black and green bins


• • Week 2, Blue and green bins.
