The local council warns such waste costs it £100 a tonne more to process.
About 40% of recycling is contaminated, a council has revealed as it launches an appeal for people to "put their waste in the right place".
It is asking residents to make sure they do not put items such as plastic bags, food waste, takeaway boxes, nappies and batteries in their recycling bins. The local authority said a recent trial in Normanby and Redcar during which instructions were tagged to recycling bins led to 15% and 20% reductions respectively in contaminated materials.
