The DEC alsoindicated the preferred range of materials that should be collected for recycling.a) Standard Bin ColoursA comparison of the DEC-preferred bin colours for domestic services with those providedwithin Liverpool is shown in Table 3.7. These colours readily identify separated wastestreams or materials.The comparison shows that collection crates for containers employed in Liverpool do notcurrently conform to DEC’s preferred bin colour. This will be addressed when Councilnegotiates its next recycling contract.Liverpool City Council15Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy

In addition, rigid PVC containers (code 3 plastics) are recovered by Council.The DEC’s good practice measures also indicate that Councils should explore the merits ofexpanding the range of plastics collected at kerbside when their contracts next come up forrenewal. For those plastics that have not been recycled to any great extent to date (LDPE,PS, UPS and other plastics codes 4 – 7), reprocessing infrastructure and markets are becomingincreasingly available. Table 3.8 lists the types of plastics potentially available for recyclingas well as common applications.Liverpool City Council16Waste Avoidance and Resource Recovery Strategy
