56cheffy Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I know they are for paper and cardboard, but am I allowed/supposed to put that shiny packaging in that you find on some foods..ie like the cartons fruit juice comes in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelywoman Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 You aren't supposed to put contaiminated card in, thus packaging which is in direct contact with food or drink. I guess this rules out juice cartons. I do put in frozen boxes which have been in contact with food but shake out crumbs first. grace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgksheff Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 What can I put in the blue bin? YES PLEASE - Newspapers, magazines, cards, cardboard packaging, catalogues, junk mail, white and coloured paper. NO THANKS - Packaging contaminated with food waste (e.g. pizza boxes, fruit juice or milk cartons), plastic, glass, metal, textiles, garden waste or any other general household waste. http://www.onyxsheffield.co.uk/wastecolbluebins.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mifsit Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I suppose you could compost pizza boxes, make sure there's no left overs in them, tear them up and add to your pile. Tetra packs can normally be recycled but you have to post them back to the manufacturer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Right. Black bins, blue boxes, blue bags, blue bins, Green bins. Not ANY of these allow dead dogs to be disposed of, Chuffin barmy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kckc Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I wash out juice cartons and put them in the blue bin. Do you reckon that's OK? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulmat Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 I think the problem with juice carton's is that they have the foil on the inside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Classic Rock Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 Right. Black bins, blue boxes, blue bags, blue bins, Green bins. Not ANY of these allow dead dogs to be disposed of, Chuffin barmy. How would they know if you've put a dead dog in your black bin if you put it in a black bin liner and cover it with pizza boxes? Can they trace it back to you? Would they return it?
