Local bins and recycling news
AI-generated summary, reviewed before publication. Checked 18 September 2026.
North Tyneside temporarily suspended fridge and freezer disposal at its recycling centre in August 2026 because specialist treatment capacity was constrained nationally. Councillor Liam Bones warned that the disruption could encourage fly-tipping and asked what contingency arrangements had been made.
The council apologised, saying it was approaching the point where it could not legally accept more appliances until existing stocks were treated. It advised residents to store unwanted appliances safely and consider retailer take-back schemes when buying replacements. The council explained that only a limited number of UK facilities can process these appliances safely.
