IMPORTANT
If your Blue Bin/Brown Bin is found to be contaminated, i.e. includes unacceptable wastes, it WILL NOT BE EMPTIED. It will be the householder’s responsibility to ensure that any contaminants are removed before it is presented for the NEXT SCHEDULED Blue Bin/Brown Bin COLLECTION DAY. Contaminated bins can result in a complete lorry load being rejected by the Materials Recovery Facility or Composting Facility.
What happens to your recyclables taken in your Blue Bin?
All material collected in your Blue bin is taken in a Council Refuse Collection Vehicle (RCV) to a clean Materials Recovery Facility (MRF). The MRF is a specialised plant that separates, processes, and stores recyclables that have been collected.
A clean MRF accepts recyclable materials that have been separated from refuse. Recyclable materials are then sent on to reprocessors and any residual material that is not suitable for processing goes for disposal.

96% of co-mingled material delivered to Bryson House Recycling is recycled, the 4% being made up largely of items that should not have been put in the Blue bins in the first place. Materials are recycled through established reprocessors, with around 80% staying within the UK.
Bryson House Recycling has a clear audit system in place for all goods it recycles which identify both the reprocessor and what happens to the materials.
