RECYCLING AND
WASTE REDUCTION
IT’S IN
OUR HANDS
Throughout 2020/21 Hambleton residents have continued to recycle more than ever and we
hope to exceed our 2019/20 recycling rate of 51%. This year we’re asking you to keep up
the recycling habit but also to try and reduce the amount of rubbish you produce in the first
place.
On average each resident in Hambleton produces 189kg nearly 30 stone of rubbish a year, we know
that figure can be reduced by thinking about what you buy, what you use and what you throw away.
FOOD WASTE
UK householders waste 4.5 million tonnes of edible food waste
a year. Saving food waste means saving money but by reducing
our food waste we can also help slow down global warming.
Prevent Food Waste by planning your meals before you go to the
supermarket, only buy what you need, store it correctly and make
sure you eat what you buy. For more great ideas and information
see www.lovefoodhatewaste.com
TEXTILES
Every year an estimated 336,000 tonnes of used clothing gets thrown in the bin in the UK. Much of
this could be reduced if we only bought clothes we really need, buy better clothes that will last longer,
care and repair our clothes, buy secondhand and recycled our clothing.
For further information see www.loveyourclothes.org.uk
SINGLE USE PACKAGING
How often do you use something once and then throw it away?
Plastic/paper coffee cups, cling film, plastic bottles, plastic cutlery,
paper plates, kitchen roll, cleaning wipes, plastic carrier bags.
All these things could be eliminated or reduced from your waste
stream by replacing them with reuseable, sustainable alternatives.
REUSE
There are lots of opportunities for your old unwanted items to be used again rather than thrown
away. From toys, to clothes and furniture to books there is often someone out there who would want
what you no longer need. Charity shops are a great outlet for items which could be re-sold but also
freecycle sites and selling sites on the internet are a great way to find a wider audience.
FLY-TIPPING
In 2019-2020 Hambleton District Council cleared over 126 tonnes of fly-tipped
waste costing Council Tax Payers over £85,000. The majority of this was household
waste.
All householders have a legal ‘duty of care’ to ensure that waste is only given to people who
are registered waste carriers. It is an offence to fail to make these checks. You could face a
fixed penalty of £400 or an unlimited fine in Court if your waste ends up fly-tipped and you
cannot show that you took reasonable steps to prevent it.
Whenever you are considering arranging for anyone other than your local council to collect
any waste from your household, always follow the SCRAP code:
S
Suspect. Beware of rogue waste carriers – reputable companies do not
usually make direct approaches. If in any doubt as to whether someone is
a legitimate waste carrier, do not allow them to take your waste.
C
Check. Ask for their waste carrier registration details and verify them by
checking the online register https://environment.data.gov.uk/public-register
or by calling 03708 506 506. Note down the registration number of the vehicle
used to take your waste away.
R
Refuse unsolicited offers to have any rubbish taken away.
Always carry out your own research and choose who you wish to
approach.
A
Ask questions. Always ask what exactly is going to happen to your
rubbish and seek evidence that it is going to be disposed of appropriately.
A legitimate, professional waste carrier who wants your business should not
object to being asked reasonable questions.
P
Paperwork. Make sure you get a proper receipt containing the written
information for your waste. This should include what has been removed, and
where it will be going. Make sure the Company or tradesman’s details are
included.
Further information on how to prevent fly-tipping and the Fly-tipping Partnership
Framework can be found on the National Fly Tipping Prevention Group (NFTPG)
website.
