Reminder of recycling rules as bags not collected
People in Guernsey have been asked to be mindful of which plastic items they put in their kerbside recycling after some were left uncollected.
The States of Guernsey said while plastic bottles, tubs, pots and trays were items suitable for the blue recycling bags, polythene and other thin film plastic items like carrier bags and crisp packets could not currently be recycled.
Pet food pouches, biscuit wrappers, cling film, and peel-off lids would also be considered “contamination”, it added.
It said dirty containers still containing food contents or residues were also likely to be left behind – but if they were clean, they could be included in blue bags.
