How to use your blue lidded wheeled bin
You can recycle
- glass and plastic bottles and jars (including lids)
- tins and cans
- plastic food containers (but not plastic film or bag)
- cartons (tetra packs)
Unwanted plastics (we can't recycle these)
Thin plastics like bread bags, grape bags, magazine wraps, crisp
bags, frozen vegetable bags, shrink wrap plastic that might hold 6
cans of baked beans etc.
Example: If you buy a tub of tomatoes the wrapping is refuse but
the tub is recyclable
Please remember
- Place everything loose in your new bin
- Rinse out all containers
- Place jar lids in your recycling bin
- Please remove bottle tops but still put them in
- Bins contaminated with refuse will not be emptied

Alternative collection methods will be used for homes which
cannot have wheeled bins.
