Bins , Rubbish , Waste Management

It is really important as tenants you all take an active role in disposing rubbish at the property , making sure the waste gets presented correctly each week.

This avoids problems with the amount of rubbish that is disposed week2 week

Rubbish wont have a chance to build up

Causing flies, pests and other nuisances .

All tenants are responsible for this

Bin Rota: If your house does not have a rota in place.  Please arrange this between you all.  Start with room 1,  Then next week room 2 until you go through everyone , then start again.

Use the chat group to discuss , remind your housemates of their duty.

Missed waste collections , will result in further charges being added to your account

As landlords we have a duty to ensure you all know how to present the waste at the property and you are all taking active part is disposing the waste every week correctly.

The property has a green a blue bin   ( Brown bin is for gardens)

Green is your general waste

Blue is recycling

BULKY WASTE 

If you have bulky waste .  Ie: you purchase a tv and have a large box to dispose of or other items that will fill up the waste – these items need to be arranged to be collected either by the council or by a private firm and paid for by you.

If you notice waste dumped at the back of the property you can report it on the council site .  Fly tipping. Please report to ensure you don’t get accused of fly tipping.

Do not dump your waste or items in the street.  You will be fined for fly tipping. ( council will search the rubbish and trace it back to the owner)

Always present the bins on the day of the collection or if the collection is early morning, then please present the bins the night before.

Always make sure the bins are brought back in that day.  Believe It or not but there is a  truck that goes around and takes all the bins that are not brought back in.

If this happens new bins have to be purchased at a cost of £25.00 per bin – This cost passed to all tenants.

BRING THE BINS IN THE SAME DAY – AFTER COLLECTION

When moving in – out of the property, please note the extra waste you have, must be collected by either council collection or private firm.  It does not go into the weekly waste.  This will make the general waste more than it should be and create a over load.

Each bin is collected on a fortnightly basis.  If everyone can stick to the rules around rubbish its easily managed.

If you recycle ,  it will cut down the amount of waste going to general waste.

DO NOT PUT THE WRONG ITEMS IN THE BINS

If you put the wrong items in the bin,  the bin truck wont tip it and will leave the bin until you correct the waste inside.

If this happens remove the waste that shouldn’t be there and re present the bin on the next date.

If the bin has a missed bin collection. you can report it on the council site (ONLY WHEN THE TRUCK HAS MISSED THE BIN – NOT WHEN YOUR RUBBISH IS NOT PRESENTED PROPERLY )
