Recycling It all adds up
A BIG THANK YOU!
In the year 2010/2011 Calderdale residents were the leading recyclers in West Yorkshire with 41% recycling - Thank you.
However, we still spent an estimated £500,000 on waste that was landfilled but could have been recycled instead by putting it into the recycling containers that we provide. So please recycle all that you can.
Important improvements, please read
To help boost our recycling levels further, from 5th December we'll collect all recycling every week. That's glass, cans, paper, food waste, plastic bottles and textiles. Just leave it all out where your property meets the highway by 7 am on collection day.
None-recyclable Waste
Will continue to be collected every two weeks. Once you've recycled all that you can, the rest goes in your wheelie bin. The lid must be fully closed with no extra waste at the side. Please leave your wheeliebin at the edge of your property, where it meets the highway, by 7 am on collection day and return it to your storage point as soon as possible after emptying.If you don't have a wheeliebin we'll take a maximum of 5 standard issue sacks from your storage point each collection. If you are struggling with your waste, need help, advice or have any questions, please visit: www.recycleforcalderdale.org
email : info@recycleforcalderdale.org
or call the Street Care Helpline 0845 245 7000
Remember - All your recycling will now be collected WEEKLY
Glass And Cans
Glass bottles and jars, tins and cans (but no broken glass please). Please rinse.
Paper & Magazines
Newspapers, magazines and empty thin card eg cereal boxes, toilet roll tubes (but no thick or corrugated cardboard thanks).
Plastic Bottles
Any plastic bottles which held liquid from pop to shampoo to detergent (but no other plastic containers please, and no bottle lids). Please rinse and squash.
Food Waste
All your cooked and raw food waste from peelings to leftovers. Please try to fill up the caddy liners so you only use about three per week. No pet waste or pet food. If you need more liners please leave a note for the collection crew.
Textiles
Any old clothes or blankets into a clear plastic bag for recycling (no duvets, cushions or pillows).
Messy Chrismas
Christmas will soon be here and we're already thinking about your festive waste. We all create lots of waste over the festive season, from wrapping paper and boxes to food waste, bottles and cans. Not to mention all the things that get replaced by your new presents.
Please use your recycling bags, boxes and food caddies for all your Christmas waste, so your bin gets a holiday too.
You can even recycle your real Christmas Tree. Just take it to one of the drop off points below during January 2012 and it will be turned into mulch for the District's parks and gardens. Don't forget to remove all decorations.
Ogden Water Nature Reserve, Keighley Road, Halifax; Healthy rooted trees will be replanted in the woodland. Other trees will be used to form part of the habitat fencing around the water's edge, as featured on the BBC Countryfile programme last Christmas!
Wellholme Park, Overflow car park, Thornhills Beck Lane, Brighouse (please note this is a change to previous years)
Manor Heath Park, Manor Heath Road, Halifax
Hullen Edge Park, Recreation Lane, Off Victoria Road, Elland
Centre Vale sports centre car park, Ewood Road, Todmorden
Alternatively the Garden Waste skip at any of our five Household Waste Recycling Centres listed overleaf.
Or you could check if your local garden centre has a collection point.
