Teesdale District Council operates a recycling program in order to reduce pollution and save energy by minimizing how much waste goes to the landfill. The council uses the common bin system as their service, providing green and black bins, as well as blue sacks for residents to easily recycle.
In the green bin Teesdale District Council asks that you place any paper and cardboard items to be recycled. This includes brochures, leaflets, magazines, newspapers, telephone directories, envelopes, and catalogues. The cardboard that is placed in this bin must be flattened and folded to fit.
In the black bin you will need to put any glass jars and bottles that are empty and clean. Please note that these glass items cannot be broken. Then in the blue sack you can put any aerosol, drink, and food cans that have been emptied and cleaned. Plastic bottles are also to be put in here, and they must be emptied and cleaned as well.
However, there are certain items that Teesdale District Council is unable to collect. These include wallpaper, carpets, fruit juice cartons, wrapping paper, paint tins, books, toys, baking trays, electrical items, plastics such as food trays, crockery, saucepans, yoghurt pots, plant pots, margarine tubs, plastic packaging, light bulbs, and pyrex dishes.
The collections are scheduled for once every two weeks and is usually collected on the same day as the rubbish, unless told otherwise. To find out when your collection day and time is, you can call the council or go to their website.
