| Hello Jo Yes, there is no Council kerbside COLLECTION of recycling for residents above shops - but there have always been things that we can't recycle in the collections which is why we have to look out for the alternatives - which are often at those places that we are actually buying from. In particular batteries and electrical items need special care so as to avoid any fires in collection vehicles (at least one a week in the UK). Using the websites that are available can help you to reduce your waste. There are quite a number of easy alternative legal ways to do so. As I understand it there is already more than one collection a week of purple bags from the flats above shops which is more than for other people. Many people with fortnightly collections of general waste don't actually NEED to use them as frequently as fortnightly. https://recycleyourelectricals.org.uk/playing-with-fire-the-cost-of-binned-batteries-and-electricals/ From experience one large kitchen bin is unlikely to help in reducing or separating recyclable and unrecyclable waste. |
