Keen recyclers have been offered more blue bins by East Riding in Yorkshire Council to help tackle and control the amount being sent to recycling. The majority of homes in the area already have three bins, a green bin for general waste, a brown bin for gardening waste and food and a final blue bins for recyclable goods. Locals have been filling the blue bins up quickly and find that they tend to have too much recycling to fit into one bin and end up having to put it in the general waste. In order to keep the high levels of recycling up and encourage those to carry on recycling the council are going to offer another blue bin, totalling four bins per household in total.
Councillor Symon Fraser who is also the portfolio holder for the environment, housing and planning said that since the launch of the alternate weekly collections which began over a year ago, the amount of recycling residents are producing has sky rocketed. Residents have been claimed they could recycle more if they had the bin space to do so and having taken this on board, the council felt it right to buy extra bins and offer them out.
Those with smaller 140 litre bins can swap it for a 240 litre bin or a second blue bin can be delivered to their homes. There are currently over 15000 blue bins across the local area in East Riding. The recycling residents are encourage to put in them is glass, paper, stripped cardboard, plastics (that have been washed and squashed) and cans etc. If you are a resident in this area and wish to find out more please visit www.eastriding.gov.uk.
