Blue bin

What goes in your blue bin?

Your blue bin is for dry mixed recycling. Leave it at the kerbside by 06:30 on your collection day.

• What you can put in your blue bin
• What doesn't go in your blue bin

Help us collect good quality materials for recycling.

• Empty any liquid from bottles and cartons and give them a quick rinse before recycling.
• Rinse food packaging to remove food residue
• Keep cardboard and paper dry
• Place all items directly into your bin – do not use plastic bags
• Do not put food waste, clothes/shoes or electrical items in your blue bin. They cannot be recycled as part of this service.

Please empty and rinse containers
If you empty and rinse bottles, cans and plastic containers you remove food or drink residue which can spoil other items in your blue bin, like paper and cardboard. Fewer spoiled items means more is recycled, and less is sent to landfill.
