Borough Council News - Paper Recycling
In a direct response to resident’s enquiries, we are pleased to announce
that the types of paper which can be recycled at the kerbside and in the
recycling banks has been extended. Items which can now be recycled along with
newspapers, magazines and white paper are Yellow Pages, telephone directories,
all sizes of catalogues and brochures, junk mail and brown envelopes. This is a
timely announcement as the Yellow Pages are due for distribution at the end of
March. The allowance of this type of paper to be recycled along with the other
types is a result of new technology at the paper mills to handle this type of
material. In the past the thick glued spine could cause problems with the
reprocessing. However, we are stressing the importance to residents to make sure
that contaminating items are not included with the paper. This includes plastic
wrapping some catalogues are wrapped in and also the free items given away with
junk mail such as pens, DVDs, CDs. Contamination in this form can result in
paper loads being rejected which as of yet has never happened. A press
release has been prepared and leaflets will be distributed to all residents,
parish offices and advice centres.
