How should I dispose of household waste safely?
Residents are responsible for disposing of their household waste safely and using the correct bins in the basement-level bin store.
Taking a few simple steps helps keep The Store House clean, safe and pleasant for everyone.
How should I dispose of my waste?
When taking your rubbish to the bin store:
- Bag your general waste securely before disposing of it.
- Separate recycling from general waste and use the correct bins.
- Flatten larger cardboard boxes before placing them in the recycling bins.
- Make sure recyclable containers are empty and clean where possible.
- Take rubbish directly to the bin store rather than leaving it in communal areas.
Where shouldn't I leave rubbish?
Please don't leave household waste in:
- Corridors
- Communal kitchens
- Shared spaces
- Outside your apartment
- Other communal areas of the building
Rubbish left in these areas can create unpleasant smells, attract pests and cause safety issues.
What about batteries and electronics?
Batteries, vape devices, electronics and other battery-powered items should never be placed in the general waste or recycling bins. Bring these items to reception, where the team can advise you on the correct disposal option.
Helpful tip
Dispose of your rubbish regularly rather than allowing it to build up in your apartment. Using the correct bins and keeping communal areas clear helps make The Store House a better place to live for everyone.
