How do I dispose of it?
Within each building there are two types of general waste bins- • Office bins for recycling only.
• Blue bins for landfill –these are only for general waste which is not hazardous, recyclable or compostable.
| Items for blue landfill bins | Items for green recycling bins |
| Plastic cups Contaminated packaging Contaminated paper Contaminated cardboard Contaminated polythene Envelopes- with windows Floor sweepings |
Clean paper Clean cardboard Clean steel cans Clean aluminium cans Aerosol cans Clean plastic bottles Envelopes- no windows Newspapers Magazines Unwanted junk mail |
In order to maintain a comfortable working environment, cleaning staff will empty all office recycling bins on a daily basis. Office bins containing landfill items i.e. food wrappers, plastic, etc. need to be disposed of personally within general waste bins that can be found on every floor and are clearly labelled ‘landfill items’.
Any large items can be taken to the general waste skip behind the Estates building.
What happens to it next?
The waste is then collected and taken to landfills in Norfolk.
