Waste & recycling

Know where
it should go.

Household bin and recycling collections are handled by private operators. Glass banks and local collection points are suitable only for the materials shown on their signs; leaving bags or unsuitable items beside them is illegal dumping.

Electrical goods, batteries, bulky waste, paint and other specialist materials may need an authorised retailer take-back service or a civic amenity site. Check what the facility accepts before travelling, keep hazardous materials separate and never place batteries or electronics in a household bin.
