8 www.mansfield.gov.uk | July 2018 www.mansfield.gov.uk | July 2018 Reduce and recycle! Plastic is found in virtually everything these days – from food packaging to chewing gum. While some plastics are recyclable, many are not and with a worldwide drive to reduce the amount of plastic thrown away, many people are looking at ways to reduce the amount of plastic in their lives. So how can you help? Here are some ideas.
Say goodbye to plastic straws and cutlery. Reuse plastic bags. They can’t be recycled and can take 1,000 years to degrade in landfill. Opt for cotton bags instead. Buy products such as laundry detergent and soap in cardboard boxes, which is more easily recycled, instead of plastic bottles. Where possible, buy foods that come loose and use paper or reusable bags. Reuse plastic containers to store food. Buy a reusable bottle or cup rather than buying Plastic bottled water or using throwaway coffee cups. Bags take Use matches rather than disposable plastic lighters. Visit Mansfield Market to buy fruit, veg, meat and fish – it 1,000 will probably have less plastic packaging than supermarket produce and you’ll be supporting local independent traders. years to degrade in landfill
Remem r to c be rush your boxes
If you have a cardboard box that’s too big to go in your blue recycling bin, you can leave it as side waste next to your bin. The bin crews will only be able to take it if it’s small enough to fit in the back of the lorry so make sure you reduce its size by crushing or folding it. Don’t forget to remove any internal packaging, such as polystyrene and bubble wrap, as these materials cannot be recycled. A small amount of occasional side waste can be accepted on recycling collections. It must be placed in a cardboard box or paper bag. If you regularly create more waste than will fit in your blue bin, you can ask for a bigger 360-litre recycling bin or an extra 240-litre bin. They’re free – subject to a recycling audit first.
Call us on 01623 463463 or email [email protected] to arrange this. You can also request a smaller 120-litre bin.
