Recycling bins
The Town provides each residential property with a 240-litre recycling bin (yellow lid) for disposal of recyclable household waste. These bins are collected fortnightly (weekly for commercial properties). For more information and to find out what day your bins are collected, visit the bins and collections page.
Your recycling bin should only contain 5 items: paper, cardboard, cans, glass and hard plastic. You should rinse the items, take off any lids and place them loose (not in bags) in your recycling bin. For more information, see the 'Recycle these 5' page on WasteSorted.
