The items most commonly placed in green garden waste in error are:

• Glass- this should be placed in your green recycling bags

• Nappies- should be inhygiene collection(if you're signed up for this service) or with your general waste

• Food Waste- put this in your kerbside caddy

• Wood- should be taken to your recycling centre at Lamby Way or Bessemer Close.
