All households in Hull will receive their new waste and recycling packs within the next couple of weeks.
This year’s packs include a new bin collection calendar, a residents’ pass for Hull’s household waste and recycling centres and a guide to recycling right.
To celebrate, the council has once again included prize-winning golden tickets in five of the packs.
Each golden ticket winner will receive a £50 Love2Shop voucher, so residents are encouraged to check their packs carefully upon receipt to see if they are one of the lucky winners.
Councillor Charles Quinn, portfolio holder for environment at Hull City Council, said: “These packs include vital information to help residents manage their household waste correctly.
“The addition of the golden tickets is a fun way to engage residents and emphasise the importance of proper waste management. I urge everyone to keep their eye out for a ticket!”
As well as providing information about bin collection dates and the household waste and recycling centres, the packs are also designed to help residents recycle as much waste as possible into the correct bins.
Cllr Quinn added: “By recycling right using your blue, brown, and food bin, we can save a significant amount of money. This money will be reinvested into local council services and the economy.
“Remember, it is essential that you only put the right things in your blue bin. Please keep bagged waste, vapes, food waste, nappies, and clothes out of your blue bin, otherwise, we can’t empty it.”
The annual resident’s pass allows Hull residents to use the household waste and recycling centres in Burma Drive, Wiltshire Road and Sutton Fields, which are all open seven days a week from 10am to 5pm.
Residents can also check their collection dates online using the bin collection day checker.
