The Recycling
Bins Campaign
Your
questions answered
Is recycling
your organic waste good for the environment?
Yes, your participation
in this scheme will mean that you will be doing your bit to help
to improve your local environment. It is estimated that up to 50%
of your household waste is made up of kitchen and garden waste.
All waste collected in the brown bins will be sent to Keady based
company, Natural World Products, to be made into peat free garden
compost.
How will
the scheme work..?
The Council
will collect the brown bin normally, once a fortnight from your
home during the growing season. This new collection will mean that
once the brown bin collection scheme begins your existing grey bin
will also be collected once fortnightly, alternating with the new
brown bin collection service. Please see the calendar
explaining when you should put your brown and grey bins out for
collection - keep it safe for future reference.
Will my black
bin fill up more quickly if it is only lifted once a fortnight?
No, not if you recycle materials such as glass, cans, plastic bottles,
textiles, paper and card at your local recycling point. It is important
that you recycle as much as possible as additional bags left beside
your bin will not be lifted.
What type
of waste can I put in my brown bin?
You should only put organic waste from your kitchen and garden in
your bin-this generally means waste which will rot.
See What to put in your Recycling Bins Page
| PLEASE
NOTE: It is very important that you do not allow your
brown bin to be contaminated with material that will not rot.
Brown bins containing such wastes will not be emptied.
Your brown
bin will only be collected on the next scheduled collection
date with all the contaminants removed. |
