DETAILED leaflets explaining the cor rect way to separate household rubbish are soon to he delivered to homes in parts of the Rihhle Valley.
The move follows the launch of. Ribble Valley Borough Council’s three-stream waste collection and is designed to ensure that householders continue to separate and recycle rubbish in the cor
rect manner.
Earlier this year, wheelie bins began arriv ing on the doorsteps of residents living in Whalley, Langho, Wilpshire, Old Lang- ho, Brockhall Village, Billington, Read, Simonstone, Clayton-le-Dale, Copster Green and the Calderstones area.
Residents were provided with a burgundy bin for non-recyclable household waste and a blue bin for recyclable waste such
as glass, cans and plastic. For residents with a garden, a green bin has been pro vided for waste.
Wheelie bins will eventually replace tradi tional dustbins in all the homes across the borough. Council bosses plan to introduce the system gradually over the next three years because they are anx ious to get things right.
Commenting on the feedback received so far, the council’s street scene manager, Mr Graham Jagger, revealed that the launch of the controversial trial scheme had been welcomed by the majority of residents.
“We initially experienced some opera tional problems because of the strike action last month, which disrupted the wheelie bin collections,” he commented.
“It has taken a little bit of time to recover from that. However, I am pleased to say that apart from that, there haven’t been any major problems.
“There has been some confusion when people have been separating wasta Peo ple have been trying very, very hard to separate their waste and in some cases have failed to realise that not all plastic IS recyclabla
“In some instances, people have been call ing the helpline to clarify which items can and cannot be recycled.
“In light of this, we are currently in the process of producing leaflets containing comprehensive information specifying which items can be recycled.
“Overall, we are satisfied with the progress of the new wheelie bin scheme. We have
had complaints from some people, how ever compared to problems experienced by neighbouring authorities the com plaints we have received have been rela tively small.,
“There have been some very minor prob lems in certain places and we are asking people to be tolerant with us.”
Mr Jagger added that talks were soon to be held to determine which area would receive the bins next. It is understood that the next set of wheelie bins will be rolled out in October.
Anyone experiencing difficulty with the new three-stream waste collection serv ice is asked to call the council’s dedicated wheelie bin telephone helpline on 01200 414599. It operates from Monday to Fri day between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m.
