Stickers issued for unsafe cardboard collections in Nuneaton and Bedworth

Stickers have been placed on stacks of excess cardboard that have gone uncollected in some areas of Warwickshire.

Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council said it had started implementing the policy to ensure staff could collect materials safely.

They said the new stickers were placed on items that were larger than the brown-lidded bins normally used for cardboard and paper recycling.

There had been a long-standing policy of accepting reasonable amounts of extra carton and this remained the case, they said.
