Why recycle? And what happens to it?

Recycling makes sense - both for our future and our wallets. Your efforts means we earn more than one millon pounds a year from selling what we recycle - which helps keep your council tax down. 

But it also means we're cutting the amount we landfill every year - and using recycled materials to create new bottles and cans saves digging up more precious natural resources. 

Find out more about what you can recycle from this page - and what we do with it after we've collected it.
