Recycling

There are five types of items that can be placed in your Yellow lid bin for recycling. 

• Paper
• Cardboard
• Aluminium
• Steel
• Glass

Your recycling service saves valuable resources from being buried in landfill where they will never be used again.

When placing items in your recycling bin please:

• Do not place recyclable items in plastic bags
• Flatten cardboard
• Rinse all containers (use your washing up water when finished)
• Remove lids from bottles and jars.
