Mixed recycling banks

Mixed recycling banks

You can use our 1100 litre mixed reycling banks if you live:

  • on an estate
  • in a mansion block
  • in a flat

To use the banks:

  • you don't need to separate items
  • don't use recycling bags - put items straight into the bank

We usually empty the banks once a week.

The flaps on recycling banks are kept locked to prevent contamination of the bank.

Before you recycle

Before you recycle, make sure all items are:

  • clean
  • dry
  • empty

And:

  • wash anything that's had food or drink in it
  • flatten cardboard and cartons
  • squash plastic bottles (you can keep plastic lids on)

We recycle

  • glass containers, bottles and jars (take metal lids off and put them loose in your recycling)
