Waste Disposal and Bin Collection
Well now – how can we glamourise this? Put simply we can’t, so instead we’ll just give you the nuts and bolts. It maybe all common sense to a lot of guests but others travel from far afield and waste disposal is handled differently in different countries and even regions, so here’s the low down on how we operate.
1,2,3
It really is as simple as 1,2,3.
We have three waste bins outside the back door, each is colour coded and each takes different wate. They are emptied on different days.
There’s a handy guide in the utility room which explains what goes in which bin and also has the dates of the next bin collections .
The Blue Bin: Clean, Dry Recyclables
The blue wheelie bin is for recyclable materials which should be clean and dry before placing in the bin.
Newspapers
Paper
Envelopes (not padded)
Magazines
Tins and cans
Aerosol tins
Cartons
Cardboard
Plastic bottles
Tubs and trays
Glass bottles and jars.
The blue bin is emptied on alternate Thursday mornings it should be placed outside the gate before 7:30am or on the Wednesday evening before.
The Brown Bin: Food and Garden Waste
The brown wheelie bin is for compostable garden waste and food waste.
There is a food waste caddy in the utility room which you can use to collect food waste. there are special compostable liners for the caddy and once full these can then be placed in the brown wheelie bin.
Food waste can also be wrapped in old newspaper to be placed in the brown wheelie bin, plastic bags must not be used.
The brown bin is emptied once every two weeks on a Tuesday morning it should be placed outside the gate before 7:30am or on the Monday evening before
The Green Bin: Clean, Dry Recyclables
The green landfill wheelie bin is for all non-recyclable waste such as nappies, plastic bags, bread bags and sweet and crisp wrappers. We like to think of this bin as the last resort!
It is for waste which cannot be put in the brown or blue bins.
The green bin is emptied on alternate Thursday mornings it should be placed outside the gate before 7:30am or on the Wednesday evening before.
