What is opt-in?
|
It is a recycling service available to all residents of Brighton, hove and portslade based on a credit system. You pay �20 up front, we provide you with clear plastic sacks the size of a black bin bag and when you have filled up 4 or more bags we come and pick them up. Opt-in can be as regular or irregular as you like, your credit account will be debited by �1.35 + vat per bag collected.
So if you don�t live on one of our “green box streets” or simply wish to recycle more materials than the council take, this scheme is ideal for you!
|
|
| It is important that you follow the guidelines below. |  |
| • | Do not over-fill; leave 6 inches at the top of the sack. |
| • | Clear glass can be bagged with coloured glass. |
| • | Aluminium foil, clothing / textiles, drinks cartons and books can be packed into separate carrier bags and placed on top of your large sacks. |
| • | Once you have at least four filled sacks then please contact Magpie on 01273 684425 or email us to arrange for a pick up. |
| • | Alternatively we can arrange a regular fortnightly / monthly collection. |
| • | You can speak to someone on this number between 9.00am and 4.30pm Mon to Fri or leave a message at any other time. |
| • | You will be given a collection day. Please make sure that your bags are outside your front door (or some other previously arranged location) by 8.30am. |
| • | As well as picking up your full bags, empty replacements will be posted through your letterbox, or left in a pre-arranged location. |
How to sign up:
All you need to do is send a cheque in for �20 with all your details.
Once we have received that someone will drop off some bags and user guide.
Alternatively you can call our office on 01273 684425.
