Recycling collection services
Recycling services take certain kinds of rubbish materials and remanufacture them into useful items. Recycling everything you can through kerbside recycling saves energy and water and reduces landfill.
Kerbside recyling
Items to put in your recycling bin
- paper and cardboard
- glass bottles and jars
- plastic bottles*
- other plastics*
- aluminium cans and foil
- steel cans
- milk and juice cartons
*Recyclable plastic items will have a code number marked on the base. Code 1 and 2 are widely accepted, Code 3 items are also often accepted by councils and several councils also accept Code 4 to 7. Your local council can tell you what can be recycled in your area (see link below).
Recycle right - wrong materials in the recycling bin can contaminate the whole load, sending it to landfill.
What else can be recycled?
Besides what you place in your recycle bin you can also recycle other household items such as computers, oil and paint. To find out more see the Drop-off points section (see below).
