Recycling service improved
Published 7 February 2012
A FREE blue lid recycling bin with special inner caddy is being provided to all homes in Hinckley & Bosworth by the Borough Council to replace the current blue box and bags.
The combined use of a ‘wheeled bin with inner caddy’ means that residents can place all recyclable materials together in one place whilst keeping the paper and cardboard separate from the other materials.
This “dual stream” process maximises the quality of the materials collected helping to reduce the cost of the service to the borough, whilst making the sorting, storing and moving of the recycling a much easier and cleaner process for everyone.
Delivery of the new bins starts shortly and it is expected that deliveries to all 46,000 homes across the borough will be complete in April 2012. A leaflet will be delivered with the bin explaining exactly “what goes where” and the new containers can start to be used straight away.
There is no change to collection days and bins should be presented on the usual day.
The blue boxes will be collected by the council when the new bins are delivered to be sent for recycling.
Committed recyclers are welcome to have additional recycling containers. Similarly, for households with less recycling, the bins can be swapped for smaller more compact versions.
If residents have any queries or questions regarding the new service they should contact the council on 01455 238141.
