@TamesideCouncil @StephD_3101 We used to lend PPE to residents but due to Covid-19 we are unable to do this. You can find out more on our website: recycleforgreatermanchester.c… Thanks, R4GM 2/2
@TamesideCouncil @StephD_3101 Hello, thanks for your message. The weighbridge is a working industrial site where council and high sided vehicles go, different to the household waste recycling centre, therefore residents require full PPE for health and safety. 1/2

#DYK it takes only one nappy to spoil a whole lorry load of paper and card recycling❓ Nappies go in your general waste bin. #TedSays please don't put any nappies in your recycling! pic.twitter.com/9XtdCrDtCv
Rubbish bags don't belong in your paper and card recycling bin. Wrong items like this mean we have to treat the whole lorry load of recycling as general waste. This costs your council an extra £485. Let's all #RecycleRight pic.twitter.com/0tiyd1a4Yi
@DarrenJMcLean Hi Darren, thanks for your message. Tea bags can go in your food and garden bin. You can read more on our website here: recycleforgreatermanchester.c…. Hope this helps! Thanks, R4GM
@AnotherHowie @DarrenJMcLean @TamesideCouncil Hello, your general waste is used to make electricity here in Greater Manchester. You can find out more on our website here: recycleforgreatermanchester.c… Tameside Council's website is separate to ours so you would need to speak to them directly about their website. Thanks, R4GM

Have you used a #LateralFlowTest recently? Remember to dispose of it correctly by putting all the plastic items in your general waste bin at home - they are not recyclable. #TogetherGM #SafeGM #DoYourBit pic.twitter.com/ppzRsXdNG6
