We are making changes to bin collections.
This is happening in three phases. Households in some areas of Angus will get a new blue bin before others.
Until every household gets their new blue bin, the items we accept in bins will vary, depending on whether you have a blue bin.
Blue bin
You can put the following items in your blue bin, if you have one:
- newspapers, magazines and brochures
- office grade paper
- shredded paper
- junk mail
- phone directories
- catalogues
- books
- envelopes (including those with windows)
Grey bin
If you haven't got your blue bin yet, you can put the above items in your grey bin.
Recycling centres
You can also take paper to any recycling centre.
Please don't tie bundles of paper together as string is a contaminant.
The following items go in the purple bin or the nonrecyclable (general) waste skip at Arbroath, Carnoustie, Forfar and Montrose recycling centres:
- hardback books and catalogues
- wallpaper
- paper potato and seed sacks
- shiny/metallic paper
