Waste Types and How to Separate Them

Types of Waste Collected:

• Organic Waste: Comprises food waste and garden waste – a crucial step towards reducing incineration usage and greenhouse gas emissions.
• Recycling: Includes paper, cardboard, plastics (types 1, 2, and 5), cans, and glass. Proper recycling helps conserve resources and energy.
• General Waste: For items that can’t be recycled or composted.

Separating Your Waste:

To ensure that your waste is managed effectively and responsibly, it’s vital to separate it correctly:

• Items should be clean, dry, and loose. This helps in keeping recyclable materials uncontaminated and ready for processing.
• For your organic bin, no plastics should be included. Please use only loose organic material or compostable bags designed for organic waste disposal. This aids in turning your organic waste into high-quality compost used in agriculture, closing the loop on organic waste recycling.

Why Proper Waste Separation Matters
