Recycling

Check what goes in your recycling bins or sacks, your collection days, order a new bin or report a problem with your collection.

Glass bottles and jars recycling

You cannot recycling glass bottles and jars in your home recycling bins. Instead, empty and rinse them, then take them to a local recycling point or recycling centre.

Check what goes in each of your bins or sacks

Glass is sorted, crushed and sent to reprocessors for recycling into new glass products.
