Please also remember to wash and squash where possible. By doing this you will be able to get more into your blue bin for recycling. If you have additional blue bin recycling this can be placed at the side of your bin in an open clear/white bag so that the crew can see that it contains recycling and it will be collected. We then ask our residents to remove the contamination before the wheeled bin gets emptied on your next scheduled collection day. We accept that residents can sometimes place the wrong items in their bin by mistake, so the crews will help by identifying the reason for non-collection. The collection crews are trained to check for contamination and are unable to empty any bin which contains the incorrect types of material.

If the item you wish to dispose of is not listed as being accepted, please DO NOT put it into your blue bin as we are unable to recycle it. *The Council is unable to list every item that should not be placed in your blue bin.
