Get the Right stuff in the Right bin. Recycling saves resources and helps protect the environment.
The information on this page applies only to households who have not yet received their blue bin.
If you have a blue bin, there is a separate list of accepted items in grey bins.
The grey recycling bin (or communal bin with grey lid) is collected fortnightly - find your collection day.
The items in your grey bin can only be recycled if they are clean, loose and dry. Do not put items in a plastic bag before you put them in the grey bin.
Rinse away any remnants of food from items you put in the grey bin.
