If you don't buy recycling boxes from us
If you don’t wish to use our recycling boxes, put correctly separated waste into your own similar sized containers (approximately 55 litres). You must ensure these containers are robust and in good condition. We won't be able to replace them if they get lost or damaged.
We strongly recommend using our 'industry standard' boxes due to their durability and for the safety of our Waste Team.
When putting out recycling for collection:
- you can put plastic, foil and metal in carrier bags (left open so our Waste Team can clearly see the contents)
- glass or cardboard shouldn't be placed in bags
Don't use cardboard boxes as recycling containers due to risks the box:
- is blown away
- is damaged by rain or damp conditions
- falls apart during collections
- takes up too much space and fills our vehicles much quicker
