Answer:
We are providing a new design kitchen caddy and collection bin to residents. Old caddies and bins can be retained and used for any purpose that the resident has for them, but please remember the bin presented for collection must be the new blue bin. If the householder has absolutely no use for them and wants to dispose of them they can be recycled as 'rigid plastic' at either the Stock Road or Leigh-on-Sea Household Waste Recycling Centre's - please don't forget to take your Waste Disposal Permit.
