Following a successful trial Barrow Council's recycling contractor Biffa have decided to use a new method for collecting your recyclable material. The method is called 'single pass' and involves the use of a refuse collection type vehicle, which is split into two compartments. One side will be for paper only and will be recycled separately. The other side will be for glass, cans, cardboard and plastic. These materials will be transported to a Materials Recycling Facility where they will be segregated, baled then sent for reprocessing.
This method has a number of advantages including reducing the number of collection vehicles on the roads and it also means that you only have to keep the paper separate the others can be mixed together and can be presented in any container as long as it is not too heavy for the operators to lift.
