General recycling

We’ve made it even easier to recycle with a brand new bin zone – and a separate bin just for cardboard. We’ve also given you a space for big items like sofas or mattresses! 

We take… 

Paper and card: 

  • Newspapers and magazines 
  • Card and cardboard 
  • Toilet and kitchen roll tubes 
  • Egg boxes 
  • Junk mail 
  • Catalogues 

Plastic and glass: 

Please rinse all food and drink packaging. 

  • Plastic bottles (leave the lids on) 
  • Plastic packaging (such as tubs and food trays, but not plastic film) 
  • Glass jars and bottles (put metal lids in separately) 
  • Cans and tins 
  • Liquid food and drink cartons 

We don’t take… 

  • Plastic film 
  • Carrier bags 
  • Nappies 
  • Food waste (there’s a separate bin for that) 
  • Clothes and shoes (there’s a service for that too!)
