KITCHEN BINS
In the Kitchen you will find three bins. Two reside underneath the kitchen island and the food bin lives on top by the dishwasher.
FOOD
All food waste that you do not eat during your stay can be placed in the food bin. Once full there is a small brown bin on the driveway where you can place the compostable bags.
GENERAL WASTE
We have allocated both the pull out bins in the cupboard under the kitchen island for general waste. The bags we use are made from recycled plastic and are compostable, so they are not that strong. So, if you need to empty this during your stay, we recommend carrying the bin outside with the bag and placing it into the smaller black bin on the driveway.
UTILITY ROOM BINS
In the utility room you will find an array of bins for your mixed recycling.
This includes the following:
- Glass bottles and jars
- Tins and beer cans
- Paper and cardboard
- Hard plastic containers & food containers (with the single use plastice removed)
A point to note - because the instructions here differ from the Welcome Book. When we first launched the Airbnb, we planned to ask you to sort waste to enable us to take it too the tip to be recycled better.
To our dismay our local tip only now only offer the same mixed recycling route for glass and metal rubbish with no recycling solution for single use plastic. Thus we felt we had no option but to return to use the standard rubbish collection for your waste.
If this changes we will obviously return back to our original plan to help improve the recyling rates of your waste.
BIN COLLECTION DAY
The Council collect rubbish on a TUESDAY from Peartrees
GENERAL WASTE
Black bin every two weeks
MIXED RECYCLING
Bin with blue lid every two weeks (alternate week to your rubbish bin)
FOOD WASTE BIN
The small brown bin is collected every week. Food waste is collected on the same day as your rubbish and recycling but is picked up by a different vehicle to your usual bin lorry.
To ensure the rubbish is collected, move the bins to the front of the driveway by the lamp post.
Please note in seasonal periods to check the website as the day might differ due to bank holidays.
