Redcar: 30 tonnes of recycling rejected in ones month
Thirty tonnes of recycling was sent to landfill in September when five wagon loads were found to be contaminated.
The equivalent of a year's worth of blue box waste from 100 homes was found to contain items such as paint, used nappies and food waste. As a result, Redcar and Cleveland Council said, the waste could not be sorted "without putting staff at risk or damaging equipment".One of the five wagon loads was contaminated with paint which spread through the recycling wagon and rendered all other items unsuitable for reuse.
The other four rejected loads were heavily tainted with plastic bags, nappies, clothing, and food waste, which led to infestations of flies and maggots.
