The City Council has published a useful flyer that gives an indication as to what items can be placed (and which should not be placed) in green recycling boxes.
Only a minority of West End households currently have a green recycling box (and none at all have a burgundy bin that the leaflet also refers to) and I have made the point to the council's Environment Department that there is a need to improve recycling opportunities in the West End in the future.
However, this should not be at the expense of weekly general waste collections.
