Dear Resident

Recycling – let’s sort it!

Please help us to recycle more by ensuring you put the correct things into your blue-lidded bin – and properly disposing of things that can’t be recycled at home. See the full list of what can and can’t be recycled

Crews are continuing to check recycling bins, and will be rejecting heavily contaminated containers. They will also attach a red hanger that explains why the bin has not been emptied. In these cases, people will need to remove the contamination ready for their next scheduled collection.

If blue-lidded bins contain the wrong items, but these items can be removed easily, crews will attach an amber hanger to the bin. This hanger will advise people that their blue-lidded bin had the wrong items in it and what the items were – but it will still be emptied.

Some of the common items incorrectly placed in blue-lidded bins include:

• Carrier bags and bin bags – put these in your general waste bin for energy recovery; or take them to a supermarket that collects plastic packaging. Please ensure all recycling is loose in your blue-lidded bin, not bagged. 
• Hard plastics, such as toys and plant pots – take these to a household recycling centre for recycling; or put them in your general waste bin for energy recovery.
• Scrap metals – take these to a household recycling centre for recycling.
• Nappies – put these in your general waste bin for energy recovery.

14th December 2022

Earlier in the week some braided wire was found running across a Public Right of Way (PRoW) at chest height, there is currently no evidence to suggest that this obstacle was supporting military training activity.

There is potential that the braided wire may have been placed by a disgruntled member of the public who is potentially frustrated with the amount of illegal off road activity taking place on the plain (this has not been proven).

If this is the case, this type of deterrence is highly dangerous and unlawful. Members of the public are reminded that woodblocks are out of bounds unless a PRoW passes through the woodblock in which case members of the public must not deviate from the PRoW.

If a member of the public observes illegal activity in the plain they are requested to report it as a crime in progress to Wiltshire Police on 999. If however, a member of the public finds items that may be deemed as dangerous on the plain (wire/cables tied between trees etc) they are requested to report it on the SPTA complaints line – 01980 620819.

Thank you.
