Duties

Waste :

The categories are :

• Glass
• Plastic
• Cardboard
• General (land fill)

There are three bins under the bar in the ante-room : glass, cans and general.
There are only two bins behind the dining room bar : glass and general.
Try to keep waste separate as you go along.
Cardboard boxes are flattened and the flattened boxes are put into an un-flattened box.

There is a 275 litre green wheeled bin for glass, in the drinks cupboard. The bar glass bins should be decanted into that at the end of the evening. This green bin is emptied every other Friday at 8am. See the Bath and North East Somerset waste “portal” for the next Friday collection day. The glass bin can be put outside the front door late on the Thursday before. The bin should be brought back into the building before 10am on collection day.

If the bin is too full to take anymore glass, then bottles should be stored in boxes and saved for the next council collection.

General waste is collected at 5pm every Monday to Friday. All general waste needs to be bagged in prescribed purple waste bags and be able to be tied up. These purple bags are put into the blue “gull-proof” bag, and left outside the front door at 5pm. It should be brought in as soon as it has been emptied, or at least before 10pm.

General waste includes the contents of the bins behind the two bars, the small waste bins in the foyer, ante-room, museum stairs vestibule, and all the lavatories. Crush it down to fit as much as possible into one purple sack.

Cans, cardboard and plastic should be bagged up in the prescribed clear plastic bags. The bags must be able to be tied up. They must be bagged separately. Collection for these is every other Thursday morning at 8am. See the Bath and North East Somerset waste “portal” for the next Thursday collection day. The clear bags should be put outside the front door late on the Wednesday before collection day.

Putting waste on the street outside of these times will incur a fine of £100 from Bath and North East Somerset.
