Volumes of recycling put out for collection in the run up to Christmas do get higher, we don't mind that but do ask a few things:
♻️ Rinse all of your cans and plastic packaging
♻️ Flatten your cans (if you can)
♻️ Flatten your cardboard (even the smaller food and tree light boxes like the ones in this photo)
♻️Remove the plastic films and trays from any food packaging, films need to go with your general waste, trays are recyclable but not when they are still in a cardboard box
♻️If you have a larger than usual amount, please give us a heads up. We'll take what we can but will leave behind any we can't fit in our vehicles. We can only do this though if you are following the instructions above - chances are your "extra" would have fit in your box if it was sorted and squashed properly.
♻️Bags of garden waste (grass and hedge trimmings, cut flowers) are welcome to be left next to your recycling container - we cannot take Christmas trees or wreaths
♻️Put your recycling out weekly, even if your container isn't full
Following our guidelines helps us provide a fair and consistent service to all of our residents. If you need help with your recycling collection please do reach out to us.
