Yes, there are specific guidelines detailing what can and cannot be placed in the bins in Harrow. To help you understand which waste goes where, here’s a summary:
| Bin Type | What Can Go In | What Cannot Go In |
|---|---|---|
| General Waste Bins | Non-recyclable household items | Recyclables, hazardous waste, food waste |
| Recycling Waste Bins | Paper, cardboard, plastics, tins, and glass | General waste, food waste, contaminated items |
| Food Waste Caddies | Food scraps, fruit and vegetable peelings | Non-food items, packaging, liquids |
| Garden Waste Bins (paid) | Grass, leaves, garden cuttings, branches | Soil, cooked food, non-garden items |
It's important to avoid contaminating the bins, as collections may not occur if the wrong items are placed in them. For further details, you can check this information on the Harrow council's website: Harrow's Waste Guidelines.
