There have been high levels of contamination in recycled waste in Craven recently. Tissues, kitchen roll, paper towels, hand wipes, nappies and sanitary products cannot be recycled and must go in the green household waste bins. Waste such as used tissues or cleaning cloths should now be double-bagged and be put aside for 72 hours before being put out for collection in the Green bin, even if you have a wheelie bin. The government has issued guidance about the handling of waste, especially from households where someone has tested positive for, or is showing the symptoms of, the coronavirus. Please ensure your blue bin is placed outside your property or at your designated collection point by 6.30am on the day of collection.Īll waste collections are operating as normal. In the future reducing, reusing and recycling may be the only way to deal with the waste.We collect recycling every two weeks. We're running out of room - the UK's landfill sites are filling up.
