Clean, Dry, Loose

Effective recycling helps protect the area in which you live and tackle climate change. Use this information on how to recycle effectively to ensure your bin is continuously collected and is never contaminated with the wrong items. All recycling must be rinsed clean and put in the bin dry and loose.

NEW – Recyclopedia Search Tool and Game

Our new comprehensive search tool helps you to “check it before you chuck it” – look up any item to see how and where to recycle or safely dispose of it.

Electrical items or Items that do not fit in your recycling bin:

If you want to recycle a small electrical item, drop it off at one of the local Tetrapak & Small Electrical Recycling drop-off points.

Household Batteries:

You can recycle your Household batteries conveniently by collecting them in a clear plastic bag, sealing the bag and placing it on top of your bin on bin day; this can be either your recycling bin or general rubbish bin.
