Keeping Recyclables Out of Black Bags.

Specifying that certain recyclable materials are not permitted in the black bags put out for collection will encourage increased recycling to meet increasing Statutory Targets to seek to avoid the need to further restrict the number of black bags or their collection frequency. A monitoring regime will enable support for recycling to be effectively targeted and as a last resort, action against those determined not to recycle could be considered.
