What can I recycle and where?

We provide two red boxes, blue bag, yellow bag, and brown-lidded bin as well as the black wheeled bin.

At the kerbside you can recycle plastic bottles, tubs, pot and trays, glass bottles and jars, food and drink cans, paper, cardboard and compostable garden waste.

Find out more about what you can put in each container - and what happens to the materials we collect - from this page.
