What plastic packaging can I recycle?
You can put plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays in your recycling box. Please remove any plastic film from pots and trays. Please don't bag your items as this cause issues with the machinery used to sort your recycling.
Can I recycle food and drink cartons?
Unfortunately, we can't accept food and drink cartons in your recycling box or blue bag. If you wish to recycle these please take them to your nearest recycling centre. Otherwise you can put them in your black rubbish bin.
