In June, Hull recycled 52 per cent of its rubbish, which means we are on the way to meet our target of 45 per cent by 2010.
For example, if everyone in Hull recycled all their paper, about one quarter of all rubbish in every household bin would be saved from going to landfill.
Hull has four main ways to recycle household waste. These are the blue bins, the brown bins, the community recycling facilities and the household waste recycling centres.
Larger, new and replacement recycling bins are free to all properties. Communal bins are available for flats.
There are over 65 Community Recycling Facilities sited for convenience at places like supermarkets and public car parks. They have containers for recycling a variety of materials, including cans, paper and glass bottles and jars. At some of the facilities you can also recycle cardboard, books, textiles and pairs of shoes.
The Council has four Household Waste Recycling Centres: Wilmington, Burma Drive, Wiltshire Road and Sutton Fields. The centres recycle a great number of materials, including green waste, fridges and freezers, car batteries, scrap metal, tetrapak, spectacles and printer cartridges.
