Recycling - Sorting & Preparing Your Recycling

Only clean material will be collected.

Suburban Household Collections

• Put paper, cardboard, plastic, tins and cans into an official Council wheelie bin or green recycling bags only.
• Put clean glass only into the 45-litre green crate.
• Place all recycling materials loosely in your bins / bags - don't tie up paper and cardboard.
• Remove lids, wash and squash your plastic, tins and cans.
• Don't put recycling materials into plastic shopping bags (but you can recycle empty plastic bags).

If you're using a wheelie bin:

• Flatten boxes and put loosely into the wheelie bin as jammed cardboard will stop your bin being emptied.
• Close the lid of your wheelie bin so it doesn't fill with rain water and recycling materials won't blow away.

Inner City Collections

• Put all the paper and cardboard into clear plastic bags (supermarket bags are fine) and tie at the top.
• In a separate bag(s), put glass, plastic and tins / cans together and tie at the top.
