What can I put in my green recycling bin?

The main things that can be put in your recycling bin are

  • Newspapers, magazines, catalogues and directories
  • Cardboard
  • Drink cans
  • Food cans
  • Plastic bottles
  • Plastic food containers

Everything needs to be clean and dry.  Put things loose into the collection container as this helps with sorting – don't put things in bags as we have to empty them by hand.

Please take glass, clothing and other textiles to a recycling bank.

Further details can be found on our Recycling - recycling at home page
