Refuse and Recycling

Recycling is a core strategy of the States and there are collection points in the Parish at Holmegrown.

There are other collection sites around the island including for green waste and for liquids such as cooking oil, paint etc. (https://www.gov.je/Environment/WasteReduceReuseRecycle/AtHome/Pages/index.aspx).

Household Refuse is collected weekly.

DO

• store household refuse in suitable wheelie bins.
• keep all glass separate from household waste – it is collected once a month.
• rinse glass jars and bottles and remove the lids; glass that is not properly sorted and cleaned may not be collected.

DO NOT

• use plastic sacks or boxes (refuse spread by scavenging birds and rodents is your responsibility; your refuse collector may refuse to collect plastic sacks).
• put liquids such as cooking oil, paint etc. in your household refuse (these can leak onto the road and cause dangerous conditions for road users).
• put out garden refuse – it will not be collected.
• mix glass with household refuse.
• mix the following with glass jars and bottles –
  • metals, ceramics or sharps
