ot Pink bin.

[tom12026]

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.

I live in Hellaby though I don,t see why that should make any difference.My green bin is emptied tomorrow 8th. and then again 8th. march and so on every 4 weeks.My Black bin is to be emptied on the 22nd.,then 22nd. March and so on every 4 weeks -so not into the same lorry at the same time into the same lorry.
Now I,m going to lie down.

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.

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

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?

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

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

Yes it will. The pink bin waste goes to the BDR site at Manvers where it’s separated. Very little goes to landfill now.

BDR incidentally stands for Barnsley Doncaster Rotherham, so Sheffield isn’t included, they do something different to everybody else due to their massiveness.
