Public recycling sites

Our recycling banks and sites

Every household in the borough is within 1km of a public recycling bank site. Anyone can use them for non-commercial waste.

At most sites you can recycle:

  • paper and card
  • glass bottles and jars
  • food and drinks cans and tins
  • food and drinks cartons (e.g. TetraPaks)
  • plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays

At some larger sites you can also recycle:

  • clothes
  • shoes
  • printer cartridges
  • books

Recycling these materials raises money for charities including Scope and Oxfam.Photo of a tube for battery recycling
