Cannock Chase Council is reminding residents not to put nappies in their blue recycling bins in a new awareness campaign this spring.

The Council ran a contamination campaign in 2016 which raised awareness of the items which can contaminate dry recycling and result in rejected loads.

Nappy contamination still remains an issue in Cannock Chase, where a number of residents are putting dirty nappies in their blue recycling bin.  This contaminates the dry recycling and is a potential health hazard for those workers at the Teeside Plant who have to sort the recycling by hand.
