Trial recycling bin (red lid)
If you put the the wrong materials in the bins
We cannot empty bins that contain wrong materials. Wrong materials can contaminate the load.
Bins with wrong items will be stickered / tagged and will not be emptied until the next collection day.
Please remove the wrong items from the bin before the next collection day.
We will not empty recycling bins if they contain:
- plastic carrier bags / sacks of any kind
- food waste
- wood
- textiles
- nappies
- polystyrene
- takeaway pizza boxes
- plastic film and wrappings from boxes
A full A-Z list of what can and cannot be recycled can be found at Recycling A-Z.
