THE CANAL & RIVER TRUST is now bringing in the government’s new ‘Simpler Recycling’ legislation to its waterways.
This requires waste to be separated into different types which also applies at the customer service facilities.
Meaning that all waste must be separated into four different containers in the boats then deposited into the four different bins at the service points.
The picture of the service facility at Sutton Cheney on the Ashby Canal will be a thing of the past.
Little space to spare
But where will continuous cruisers, who have little space to spare as it is their home and so has to hold all they posses, be able to find space for three more rubbish bins?
It made worse as black bags as always used for everything, can now only be used for general waste.
So does that mean you have to hug your three other receptacles to the waste compound to empty them? For you are only allowed to use black bags for your general waste only.
Types of receptacles required
Recyclables (paper, card, metal and plastics)
Glass
Food waste
General waste
The contents for these bins are broken up into the various items that you can and cannot use for each bin at the service facilities as given by the trust.
