🚫🚮 Think Twice Before Tossing! 🚮🚫
We’ve all been there, standing over the bins, unsure where certain items go. But wait – our local binman hero, Ashley (aka The No1 Binman), has come to the rescue! 🎉 With his trusty TikTok, he’s dishing out some top tips on waste disposal that could save us all from recycling mishaps.
🛑 This week’s hot tip: Chewing gum! 🛑
You might be tempted to toss that gum into your recycling or food waste bin, but it turns out that it’s a no-go. Chewing gum is not biodegradable—it won’t break down in the soil or compost. So, where should it go?
👉 Straight into your general waste bin! 🗑️
And let’s not forget about those pesky chewing gum wrappers. They’re often made from a combo of paper and aluminium, making them non-recyclable. Pop them in the general waste as well to keep your recycling bin squeaky clean and running efficiently!
Ashley reminds us to always check our local council’s website for a comprehensive list on what can be recycled. Most councils have an easy-to-follow A-Z list, so there’s no excuse for getting it wrong. 📚✔️
Keeping our bins in check means our neighbourhoods stay cleaner and our planet stays greener. 🌍💚 So next time you’re about to bin that gum, think again and keep Ashley’s advice in mind!
Who knew waste-disposal could be this insightful? 💡 Happy recycling, folks!
