Black bin Rubbish is taken to Raynesway Transfer Station where
it is transferred to larger bulk waste lorries. The vast majority
of waste is then sent to landfill sites in Derbyshire and
Nottinghamshire. Other waste from the black bin is burnt to
generate energy (gasifaction) this is enough for more than 19,350
homes, equivalent to 21% of household needs in the Derby area.
Brown bin (compost) Taken to Transcycle transfer station to be
composted. Blue bin ('dry' recycling) Taken to the Greenstar plant
in Victory Road where it is sorted. Plastics Plastics go to
Greenstar's materials recycling facilities in Aldridge, north of
Birmingham, to be sorted then sent to another company for
reprocessing into plastic pellets bought by firms which make
plastic items. Cans Aluminium cans go to a recycling company to
become new cans. Steel cans go to the steel-making industry. Glass
Glass is ground up and used in road building and aggregates and
some goes into bottle manufacture. Paper Paper is sent to Aylesford
Newsprint in Kent to be recycled for newspapers.

Household waste Much of this waste can be recycled and should
be disposed of separately to general household waste. Look inside
this rubbish bin to see how much of the contents should actually
have been recycled.
Slide 14
The Three Rs! There are 3 ways to make the amount of waste we
bury in the ground less. REDUCE - e.g. use less packaging on
products or not use plastic bags. REUSE - e.g. to use carrier bags
again, buy bags-for-life or use bottles and jars as storage
containers. RECYCLE e.g. separate recyclable materials from
rubbish, using a bottle bank.
Slide 15
Match the recycled rubbish to the product it can be turned
into.
