'Car parts and gas canisters' in paper recycling prompts polite reminder from Preston Council
Over the last few weeks, Preston Council have noticed that some incorrect objects have been found in their paper and card recycling bins.
So much so, that they have had some loads rejected by the company who process it.
In some paper bins recently there has been a gas canister, some nappies (in and out of nappy bags) and even some car parts.
As a reminder, these are the things that should go into the paper and cardboard recycling bin:
- Paper
- Catalogues and Directories
- Wrapping Paper (Non Foil)
- Newspaper
- Magazines
- Junk Mail/envelopes
- Cardboard Food Packaging
- Ready meal sleeves
- Cardboard Boxes (must fit container)
- Toilet Roll and Kitchen Roll Tubes
- Greetings Cards
- Cereal Boxes
These are the items that should not go into paper and card recycling:
- juice or milk cartons (tetrapacks)
- plastic wrapping
- wallpaper
- polystyrene
- carrier bags, loose items only
