Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council is making changes to your household recycling collection service by replacing the current Bryson Recycling kerbside box and kerbside food caddy collection services (depending on your residential area), with a new standardised, council managed, collection service for all residents across the borough.
GET READY FOR YOUR NEW RECYCLING SERVICE
STARTING NOVEMBER 2021
Check out our useful Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s) section for more information:
GREEN BIN INFORMATION
The Council will be delivering out green bins to all households that previously had a Bryson Recycling box collection in September/ October 2021.
Paper, cardboard, tins and cans, aerosols, foil, plastic bottles, plastic pots tubs and trays, food and drinks cartons, glass bottles and jars, household batteries, textiles, small electrical items e.g. toaster, hairdryer
The first collection of green bins will be in early November. You will receive detailed information in the post nearer the time.
No- the collection of the green bin will be fortnightly
Yes. Please continue to use the boxes and you will receive information about when you can start using the bin nearer the time. Do not start to use your green bin before you are notified as it will not be emptied.
Items in the green bin are bulked at a Materials Recycling Facility, sorted into their material types using mechanical and hand sorting and then sent for onward processing and recycled into a range of products.
BROWN BIN INFORMATION
No. You will also be delivered a brown bin for food and garden waste and will receive further information about this collection nearer the time. There are approx. 9,000 households that are currently using the food caddy- these will be replaced with a fortnightly wheeled bin collection.
Garden and food waste including:
Grass, hedge clippings, prunings, leaves,
All uneaten food and plate scrapings, fruit, vegetables, raw and cooked meats, bones, fish, eggs, tea bags, coffee grounds, bread, pastries, dairy, cold ashes, napkins
Yes- households receiving a new brown bin will also be delivered a smaller kitchen caddy and liners.
These can be collected free of charge from any of our Council Recycling Centres.
No only one brown bin will be emptied. Any additional garden waste can be recycled at the Council recycling centres.
The garden and food waste is bulked at a local facility and then goes through a process and turned into compost.
ADDITIONAL SERVICE INFORMATION
You should remove the contaminated items and wait for your next scheduled collection
Yes, if you have an assisted collection for your black bin you will also receive this for the brown and green bins.
All bins should be presented by 7am on the scheduled collection day.
This is helpful and it is easier to identify your bins to your house.
There may be a change to your collection day. You will receive more detailed information nearer to the new collections starting in November.
Please keep your kerbie box as storage or for taking items to the recycling centres.
You will receive a letter and a leaflet outlining the scheme with details of your collection days, items that can be recycled and other useful information in advance of the scheme starting in November.
