Recycling bin

You should recycle as much as you possibly can.

We provide wheelie bins or blue boxes for you to recycle your waste. We collect these every 2 weeks. 

You need to make sure the items are empty, clean and dry. Squash plastic bottles and flatten cardboard to maximise space in your container.

We recommend you put your waste loose into your recycling and non-recycling bins, rather than in bags, as you will fit more in and use less plastic bags.

We will collect extra recycling if your bin or boxes are full. You need to put this in clear or white bags only - do not use any other colour bags as we will not collect these. Put the bags next to your full bin or box.

We can collect:

• mixed paper – newspapers, magazines, paperback books, leaflets, brochures, greeting cards (no glitter), wrapping paper (no glitter or foil-like wrapping)
• cardboard – egg boxes, toilet and kitchen rolls
• aerosols – deodorant, cleaning products, hair products
• foil – food containers, take away trays
• metal cans – drink cans, food cans, biscuit tins
• plastics – drinks bottles, food bottles, toiletry bottles (such as shampoo or shower gel), cleaning product bottles, yoghurt pots, soup pots, spread tubs, ice cream tubs, chocolate of biscuit tubs, food trays for meat, fruit or vegetables, ready meal trays
