Hull provides a number of services and schemes for proper waste disposal
- Hull City Council is urging residents to make use of the multiple authorised waste schemes and services available in the city, following four fly-tipping fines. In four separate incidents, the offenders were caught dumping waste in Reynoldson Street, Wellsted Street, Cave Street, and Tunis Street.
- Cllr Charles Quinn, Hull’s portfolio holder for environment, said: “Fly-tipping is a crime, and we do not tolerate it in Hull. It is unsightly, potentially harmful to human health and damaging to the environment.
- “These fines could easily be avoided if people disposed of their waste correctly. There are a number of services, schemes, and waste centres in Hull that residents can use to ensure waste is disposed of correctly and our communities are kept clean.”
- For large waste items, residents can use the bulky household collection scheme. Households are eligible for one free collection per year of up to five items which can include cookers, dishwashers, fridges, mattresses, sofas etc; any additional collections cost £5. There are three household waste and recycling centres located across the city, open every day from 10am to 5pm, which residents can use free of charge. All are modern facilities, designed to maintain and improve recycling within the city.
- White electrical goods in working order can be donated and/or collected free of charge to be sold at a discounted price in the Reuse Electrical Shop – a joint initiative with Dove House Hospice, ERYC and FCC Environment that aims to keep white goods in use for as long as possible.
