WASTE & RECYCLING Bins need to be put out at the right time and place, and stored away between collections so they don't get lost or stolen. Rubbish can also attract rats and other vermin, so it’s important to dispose of rubbish in the correct way. If you live in an area with alleyways, your accommodation provider should supply you with a key so that you have access. General waste All non-recyclable waste should be placed in the purple bin. Recycling Paper, glass, cardboard, plastic bottles, tins and cans should be put in the blue bin, blue bag or container supplied. No thanks! These items go in the purple bin; yoghurt pots, plastic food trays, juice cartons (Tetrapaks), food, liquids and plastic bags. Underground super-bins Some areas have new revolutionary underground bin storage. Ask your accommodation provider about gaining access and how to use them. Communal bins Some areas of Liverpool have communal street bins. Scan for locations and how to dispose of your rubbish. If you live in halls or apartment block then waste should be disposed of in the bins provided in the communal bin area. www.liverpool.gov.uk/bins-and-recycling Find out more information about rubbish disposal and your bin collection days 11
