Thanks for the info; getting ready to move to Bradford and it’s one less thing we have to look up.

Agreed; thanks for the info. I’m just a tad annoyed because it took me awhile to figure out all the Ins and outs of recycling, and now we won’t be doing it.

What will happen to items that won't burn like Tin/aluminum cans, glass bottles?

Thanks for the info. Appreciated.

Thanks for your work on this project.

Thanks for this very useful information. We've been wondering about the yard waste issue.

Thank you for providing the link

Ferrous metals are picked out before they go into the burn chamber with huge electro magnets.

Non ferrous metals are separated out of the bottom ash(what's left after it's burned) with an eddy current separator. An eddy current separator induces a magnetic field in otherwise non magnetic metals and flings them out. It's an interesting machine. There are videos on youtube.

Glass and the rest end up getting buried in landfills. That said, the amount of waste is significantly reduced from what came in the door. What remains is about 5% of what came in.

Thank you

It said yard waste in bags but it didn’t say type of bags. Do we still use paper yard waste bags

bags
 

You can use any bag you want...paper or plastic

Thanks for the work you did to provide this information

There is a video on the district government website that explains the whole process in detail.

Thank you very much.
