Bin Police!

Black bin Rubbish is taken to Raynesway Transfer Station where it is transferred to larger bulk waste lorries. The vast majority of waste is then sent to landfill sites in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire. Other waste from the black bin is burnt to generate energy (gasifaction) this is enough for more than 19,350 homes, equivalent to 21% of household needs in the Derby area. Brown bin (compost) Taken to Transcycle transfer station to be composted. Blue bin ('dry' recycling) Taken to the Greenstar plant in Victory Road where it is sorted. Plastics Plastics go to Greenstar's materials recycling facilities in Aldridge, north of Birmingham, to be sorted then sent to another company for reprocessing into plastic pellets bought by firms which make plastic items. Cans Aluminium cans go to a recycling company to become new cans. Steel cans go to the steel-making industry. Glass Glass is ground up and used in road building and aggregates and some goes into bottle manufacture. Paper Paper is sent to Aylesford Newsprint in Kent to be recycled for newspapers.

Household waste Much of this waste can be recycled and should be disposed of separately to general household waste. Look inside this rubbish bin to see how much of the contents should actually have been recycled.

The Three R’s! There are 3 ways to make the amount of waste we bury in the ground less. – REDUCE - e.g. use less packaging on products or not use plastic bags. – REUSE - e.g. to use carrier bags again, buy bags-for-life or use bottles and jars as storage containers. – RECYCLE – e.g. separate recyclable materials from rubbish, using a bottle bank.

Match the recycled rubbish to the product it can be turned into….
