Preparing your recycling
  • Empty and rinse containers; lids off (lids and caps go in general waste).
  • Keep recycling loose in the bin — never bagged.
  • Don't squash bottles or cans flat (sorting machines read their shape). Flattening cardboard is fine.
  • Not accepted: aerosols, Tetra Pak cartons, foil, plastics 3/4/6/7, items under 50mm or over 4L.
