Place your recycling in you green bin and put it at the kerbside by 7.30am on your recycling day.

If you want the recycling truck to pick up your recyclables you must use the green bin.

For safety reasons, all glass must be placed in your bin.  If glass is in a cardboard box or plastic bag it will not be collected.

If you have more recyclables that will fit in the bin, then tie newspaper and card into a bundle and place underneath or on top of your bin.

Kerbside recycling collection is not a complete refuse management system.  It caters for the majority of household recyclables produced in a week.  However it cannot cope with;

• Cardboard packing boxes after moving house

• Large quantities of bottles and cans following a party.

• Commercial volumes; e.g. a restaurant or pub putting out empty bottles or a retailer putting out large volumes of cardboard.
