ot Pink bin.

[Grist_To_The_Mill]

People from Rothrrham dont live in Doncaster. How can we possibly be confused by their bin system?

It confused my neighbours, they lived just over a mile down the road in Elsecar. So moved from Barnsley to Rotherham and kept getting the bins wrong.

BTW if you live in Rotherham you might notice that the paper and card bin and the glass/ tins and plastics bin get emptied at the same time and go in the same bin lorry.

Wow, some posters on here who love calling folk 'snowflakes' getting their nickers in a twist about bin colours...who'd have thought it eh......

Can anyone tell us what you do with yoghurt/ drinks cartons. It says they don't go in green bin but doesnt say where they do go.

If all people have got to worry about is the colour of the bins then they’re not doing bad are they.

Roly I thought you lived near me on Maltby, when did you move yo kimmy?

[rolymiller]

Nah never lived up that end Loyal. Must be an impostor

In the pink one when it comes, black one now.

That puzzles me though great fire because I have always taken my drinks cartons for recycling at supermarket sites. If I put it in the pink bin I assume it will not be recycled..

You're right it doesn't tell you, I've always put them in with general waste because they're lined with plastic but it doesn't say whether you can put them in with the new plastics recycling or not, told you it was complicated!

Think I'll just dump everything at the side of a country road instead

[rolymiller]

They ought to have a clear instruction, we get through quite a few cartons. I think i will probably put it in with the plastics until they give me a bolloking. It's hardly my fault if they don't tell me I'm trying to carry on recycling.

[great_fire]

Looks like you can recycle them here (except that last one).

EDIT: Can take them to that last one even though Tesco has shut.

Cartons, such as Tetra Pak are not collected, but can be taken to the local recycling points at:

Dalton (Asda)
Dinnington (Tesco)
Kiveton Park (Co-op)
Town Centre (Forge Island Car Park)
Wath (Library Car Park)
