Paper banks in Fareham

 

Paper and card can be put in the household blue top recycling bins, but not shredded paper. Shredded paper gets caught in machinery at the sorting plant, where it jams it up and causes a fire risk. It can be put in paper banks. Yellow Pages can now be put in blue top recycling bins, or in paper banks.

 

There are a few paper banks around the Borough at:

• ASDA, Newgate Lane
• Admiral Cunningham pub, in Bishopsfield Road
• Leisure Centre, Park Lane
• Sainsburys Store, Broadcut
• Stubbington Community Centre car park
• Alldays, Cuckoo Lane, Stubbington
• Portchester Precinct car park
• the Household Waste Recycling Centre, Barnes Wallis Road
• Locks Heath District Centre
• Warsash Road car park
• Holly Hill car park
• Titchfield Community Centre, Mill Street
• Palmerston Avenue Car Park, Fareham
• Western Road, Fareham

 

Cardboard cannot be put in paper banks. The paper that is recovered from paper banks serves as the raw material in the manufacture of recycled newsprint.  Because of its different fibre length and colour, cardboard is unsuitable in this recycling process and is just as much a contaminant as glass, plastics and other materials. Cardboard collected from the blue top recycling bins goes to a cardboard mill and is recycled back into cardboard.
