Blue Bins Come To Chorley

[@jamiegoldberg1]

I love you Doog. Everyone loves Doog.

just to like say well done for the small compartment in the blue bin and the blue bin is a lot more solid and tidier than the flimsy mini sack

Hi - thanks for the comments. If you have a large amount of cardboard you can leave it bundled together by the side of your brown bin on collection day.

[@ChorleyCouncil]

We've chosen blue because it is traditionally the colour for dry recyclables. We showed the bin to people when we were consulting on the plans to introduce a third wheelie bin. Some people love the colour but we appreciate not everyone will like it. Neighbours may not have got a bin because of problems accessing the property. If people think theyve been missed out call us on 01257 515355. More information on the bins and a delivery timetable is available on our website.

If you don't have a brown bin you can leave the cardboard bundled together by the side of your green box.

Recycling is very important to conserve raw materials and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Lancashire is very short of landfill space and if we dont recycle we will have to find new landfill sites. Thanks to Chorley residents we now recycle almost half of all our waste, which is brilliant. We hope the blue bins will encourage people to recycle even more.

[@ChorleyCouncil]

We currently recycle nearly 50 per cent our waste in Chorley. It is good for the environment, saves energy, reduces raw material extraction and helps combat climate change. The amount of landfill space we have available is diminishing rapidly and unless we recycle we'll need more landfill sites or energy from waste plants to deal with the waste we all generate. If people are aware of places with rats or litter they can be reported to us on 01257 515151 so we can do something about it.

Just got our new blue bin, it seemed like a great idea until we read the leaflet. One of the recycling issues has always been cardboard blowing all over the street on a windy day, yet that is still to be put out in a green tub. I am guessing the cardboard will still be blown all over the street. My other problem is why we cannot recycle some plastic items that can, as far as I am aware, be recycled in other areas, such as yoghurt pots and margarine tubs. We should do it right and recycle more!

how about private jets though ?

[@LoxyUK]

I told them this is what we needed when the plans for the box and sack were first introduced... Finally they've listened, but we've all had to pay the monitary costs of their failed experiment!

[@888ssss]

i just used to baz it all in the green bin. the clown show continues.

[@FreedomBeats]

Why?

[@jamiegoldberg1]

I always told you you'd make something of yourself mate.

YOU COULD NOT HAVE PICKED A WORSE ACTOR come on just after 0:25 he looks at the camera

[@catchingtheshot1333]

not an actor.

[@tonymontana1974]

Why cant people just leave all there refuse in 1 bin i dont recycle and i never will. This council is a joke.

[@Waste1YT]

Due to rising costs to landfill waste as well as a lack of landfill space, not to mention the environmental benefit of recycling
