Update on recycling at our Household Waste Sites
Cllr Naheed Mather, Cabinet Member for Greener Kirklees said:
We are committed to providing the residents of Kirklees with the best possible service when it comes to disposing of their recycling. However, we have been put in an area of high risk by the government, and with cases of COVID-19 rising, we want to make sure this is done safely.
However, we recognise that at a time when more people are ordering online, and many are preparing for the festive season there is an increased demand for cardboard recycling. As such we have requested that SUEZ, who is responsible for the operation of the sites, look into how they can reintroduce the paper and card banks. They are currently working through the possibilities
In the meantime, residents are still able to recycle cardboard, paper, plastic bottles, tins, and cans in their green recycling bins, which are emptied every fortnight. By breaking down boxes into smaller pieces, it is often possible to get much more in the green bin than you might expect.
I would like to thank our workforce for continuing to deliver a full household waste and recycling collection service throughout the pandemic, and the teams at our household waste sites for their support to manage demand in those first weeks, when we were at our busiest.”
Are the skips still restricting what we can take to skips

The one thing we need to know – opening times – is nowhere to be found!
Is the Bent Lea recycling site at Meltham open after lockdown (5th Novemeber? I’m still raking up leaves and may have other items. I cant find any information on the Kirklees website.
S.Walker, I have already completed the online questionnaire
Kirklees are doing an online questionnaire about bin collections etc, maybe look it up and fill it in, you never know it could change the rubbish system we have now!! , no pun intended.
So will recycling sites be open from Thursday? After new lockdown rules, surely disposing of rubbish is essential… !!!
This is fine , but what about other recyleable waste ? it is not just cardboard but paper amongst other things .
We used to have Green Glass bins that were collected , but this has stopped a while ago.
Kirklees ,SHOULD BRING THIS BACK.
Kirklees as far as i am aware , have one of the worst records for its commitment to recycling waste .
SO COME ON KIRKLEES DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!!!!
