Recycling rule worth knowing

Return soft plastics to a collection point rather than the kerb.

Bags, wrappers and films tangle in machinery and cannot be processed in kerbside recycling. Dedicated drop-off programs handle them separately when they are running.

Example: Bread bags, pasta packets and bubble wrap: collect them at home and take them to a participating retailer.

Frequently asked questions

Should I rinse containers before recycling?

A quick rinse is enough. Containers do not need to be spotless, just empty and free of large food residue. A few seconds under the tap, or a swish with leftover dishwater, keeps the load clean without wasting water.

Are bottle caps recyclable?

Metal screw-top lids from glass jars and bottles can stay on when you put them in the yellow bin. Small plastic caps on plastic bottles should generally be removed, as they're often a different plastic type. Large plastic lids from takeaway containers are fine in recycling.

How do I dispose of large items like furniture?

Bulky items such as mattresses and furniture do not go in any kerbside bin. Most councils offer a hard waste collection, either booked on demand or on set dates. Check your council's website for what is accepted and how to arrange it.

Quick tips for bin night

  • Flatten before you fill. A single un-flattened box can eat half your recycling bin. Break it down first and you'll fit a fortnight of cardboard without a fight.
  • Wishful recycling isn't recycling. Putting something in the yellow bin and hoping for the best isn't recycling. It's contamination. When in doubt, it's general waste.
  • Check your bin before bin night. Bin night is not the time to discover your bin is still full from last fortnight. A quick check the day before saves you a very long fortnight.
