Blue box: glass, metal and plastic recycling
Your blue box is for
recycling:
- aluminium and steel cans and tins like drinks cans, food
tins
- glass bottles and jars
- plastic bottles, but not plastic yoghurt pots, margarine tubs
or microwavable trays
Please do...
- rinse all containers and remove lids and corks
- squash your drinks cans and plastic bottles to get more in your
box
- leave extra recyclables in open carrier bags at the side if
your box is full. Please leave the bags open so the collectors can
see what's in them.
Please don't...
- put out broken glass or mirrors
- put out any other plastic than plastic bottles. We cannot take
plastic containers, like yogurt pots and margarine tubs
- put out any metal items other than tins or cans
We can only supply one blue box per household. If you can't fit
everything into your blue box, leave the extra recycling in an open
carrier bag at the side. If you need a replacement box, complete
the
Replacement Boxes/Bags/Bins online form.
