From 8th April 2024, the Council will be changing the use of the blue bag in accordance with the Workplace Recycling Regulations 2024. As of 8th April 2024, the following items will need to be placed in either a Council blue bag or a red bag:
Blue Bag - Office paper, newspapers, magazines, thin cardboard, cereal boxes, junk mail, envelopes
Red Bag (empty and rinsed) - Plastic bottles, plastic cups, drinks cans, food tins, yoghurt pots, plastic sandwich cases, waxy beverage cartons, clean foil
In the meantime, the blue bag can continue to be used as normal, but customers are advised to be mindful of the changes before ordering large quantities of blue bags.
