The Recycling Bin
The 240 litre recycling (yellow lid) bin is for all of your household recyclable material and is collected fortnightly. Material placed in this bin will be sorted and then used to produce new products, saving energy and natural resources.
To determine which week your recycling bin is collected, please refer to the collection calendar and map in the Kerbside Collection Calendar located under Related Resources to the right. Simply locate your street on the map to determine which collection week you are in.

|
PLASTIC CONTAINERS |

GLASS CONTAINERS |

DON'T PLACE RECYCLABLES IN PLASTIC BAGS
Some Handy Recycling Tips…
- Remove all lids and put these in the waste (red lid) bin
- Labels are okay left on
- Give containers a quick rinse, this helps prevent odours (use old dish-washing water, to save water)
- Place all items loosely into your recycling bin
