Flats recycling

What can be recycled? Our flats recycling service consists of: Glass Glass bottles and jars Paper Paper Newspapers and magazines Envelopes, including those with windows (except brown envelopes) Telephone directories including Yellow Pages Cans Steel and aluminium cans Aerosols

For a detailed list of materials accepted in each container see the Flats recycling leaflet (636Kb) .

All recycling must be placed in the recycling bins provided. If you find these are regularly full prior to collection day, please let us know by calling 0800 3286023 and we will deliver additional bins to ensure capacity is always available.

If  the wrong items are being placed in the recycling bins we will have to send the entire bin to landfill rather than recycling the contents. A sticker will be placed on the bin informing you about this.
