Household recycling survey
| from LBH How does your household recycle? We’ve created a short online survey to help us identify and address barriers that might stop residents from recycling. The results will help us understand how households decide which items to recycle and which to put in their waste bin. Your feedback will also help us shape our services in the future, to increase rates, reduce contamination levels in our weekly collections and reduce overall levels of household waste. T ake the survey: https://forms.office.com/pages/responsepage.aspx?id=ebasqoHD-0izIPnVge6Uj_DrTkFwxBNIu19SH9lGKt5UM1laSkdLWEtaSVg0VTNRNEhQODdUN05NVC4u&utm_medium=email&utm_source=govdelivery |

Re(?)register for automatic recycling bag deliveries.
FROM LBH
On Tuesday 2 April, we’re relaunching our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme.
If you currently have recycling bags or food waste caddy liners delivered, you’ll need to re-register your account. Or, if you’re new to the scheme, you’ll be able to sign up online.

Waste and recycling update
New and improved recycling bag deliveries
On Tuesday 2 April, we will relaunch our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme for both clear dry mixed recycling bags and food waste caddy liners.
Existing users will need to re-register for the scheme and newcomers will need to sign up, which is quick and easy. You will be asked how many people live in your property and how many bags of recycling you produce in a typical week so your subscription can be tailored to the number of bags you need.
You will receive your bags in one delivery for the year as part of the new scheme, with the first deliveries beginning in June.
Re-register or sign up at least one month ahead of your scheduled delivery month.

Repair and Reuse Day
Our next Repair and Reuse Day takes place on Saturday 23 March at The Great Barn, Manor Farm, Ruislip from 10am to 2pm.
Learn tips and tricks for how to reduce your household waste by fixing or reusing items you might otherwise have thrown away.
Our recycling team will be on hand to offer advice, along with the council’s usual partner organisations, TRAID, The Restart Party, Dr Bike, Learn Hillingdon and Freegle.
Are you recycling right?
We’re working hard to improve the borough’s recycling rates and a key element of this is reducing contamination.
Contamination happens when an item which can’t be recycled is placed in with your recycling. This applies not only to items we don’t recycle, but items we can’t recycle like wet cardboard, or dirty food containers.
Just one wrong item can prevent an entire bag of waste from being recycled, so check out our helpful online guide to see what you can and can’t place in your dry mixed recycling.
Don’t forget to remove your batteries
We’ve extended our recycling facilities for small electricals to all of our libraries and they’re being well used, thank you.
Take unwanted small electricals, such as hair-dryers, mobile phones, cables, toasters and radios and pop them in the bright pink wheelie bins you’ll find in each branch.
Please ensure you remove any internal batteries before dropping them off and please don’t put loose batteries in either. Any batteries that go into the recycling process risk causing fires in our facilities.
