Thanks you your hard work, we have a recycling rate of 47 percent - which is above the national average, and helps keep your council tax down by earning us more than one million pounds a year. 

We have different containers for different materials to make sure the quality of what we collect is always the best - so we can get the most for it.

All of our material goes to reprocessors in the UK, so there is less travelling for the materials before they are recycled - saving both CO² emissions and money. Find out what happens to your recycling.
