If you accidentally put the wrong item in a bin, it's important to know that bins and caddies contaminated with the wrong materials can't be emptied. If your bin contains the incorrect items, you should remove them before the scheduled collection to avoid a missed pick-up.
Here’s what you can do if this situation occurs:
| Step | Action |
|---|---|
| 1. Remove Wrong Item | Take out the incorrect item(s) immediately. |
| 2. Check for Contamination | Ensure your bin is not contaminated with other materials. |
| 3. Place Correct Items | Only put the accepted materials back into the bin. |
| 4. Wait for Collection | Ensure the bin is at the property boundary for collection by 7 am on your collection day. |
If you're unsure about what can go in your bins, you can refer to the guidelines for proper waste separation and recycling. It's always good to double-check before collection day! If you need more information, you can visit what goes in your bins.
