Simple Recycling Tips to Help Ongar Stay Green
Recycling might seem straightforward, but confusion around what goes where often leads to contaminated bins — which can send otherwise recyclable materials to landfill. Let’s clear the air and help make Ongar a shining example of proper waste management.
The Basics
-
Green Bin: Paper, cardboard, tins, cans, plastic bottles, and cartons.
-
Brown Bin: Food scraps, garden waste, tea bags.
-
Black Bin: General waste — everything that can’t be recycled or composted.
Avoid These Common Mistakes
-
Pizza boxes with grease go in the brown or black bin — not the green one!
-
Rinse your plastics and tins to avoid contamination.
-
Don’t bag your recycling — loose items only.
Eco-Tips to Go the Extra Mile
-

-
Bring old clothes to charity shops or textile recycling banks.
