Slough council has stressed the importance of checking recycling following concerns about bins being rejected by refuse collectors. Residents on social media noticed that collectors picking up the red recycling bins were occasionally leaving them uncollected with notes attached. This was ‘to encourage more recycling and less general waste.’“Unfortunately there are multiple items which may show recycling symbols which cannot be recycled in the red bins,” the spokesperson said. Concerns were further raised over recycling bins being rejected because of passers-by dropping in litter. To tackle this, Slough council suggest placing bins out ‘as close to time of collection as they can’ and take them back in again as soon as possible afterwards.
