Recycling is collected every fortnight.<br />
Your recycling boxes and sack need to be ready for collection by 7am on your<br />
recycling day.<br />
If your recycling hasn't been collected for some reason, you should be left<br />
a note explaining the problem.<br />
Reasons might include:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
large cardboard - cardboard must be flattened and no bigger than 45cm x<br />
45cm<br />
tops left on plastic bottles - please remove all tops from bottles<br />
wrong type of plastic - we only accept plastic bottles in your green sack<br />
mixing your recycling materials - please separate the materials into the right<br />
containers<br />
shredded paper - this shouldn't be put into your green box; it can<br />
be composted or reused for animal bedding (or alternatively put in your black<br />
bin)<br />
As long as the problem has been sorted out, your recycling will then be taken on<br />
your next recycling collection day.<br />
If you have not been left a note, there may be other issues affecting the service<br />
which you can check online at www.westberks.gov.uk For more help, please contact<br />
