Description
a) The DMR is currently fully co-mingled, so includes all plastics (except for polystyrene, P VC, other hard plastics and plastic film), cans and tins, glass, cartons (including Tetrapaks) and paper and card. Small Electricals, household batteries and textiles are also collected in smaller quantities using baskets under the body of the RCVs. b) The average amount of DMR collected annually by both Councils combined is 28,000 tonnes. This translates to twenty to twenty five vehicle drops per day. c) Whilst the population of the two districts continues to grow, measures in the Environment Act around Extending Producer Responsibilities and the Deposit Return Scheme means the expectation is that tonnages will remain between 25,000 and 30,000 tonnes per annum
