How to Recycle Right
A list of what you can and can't put in your kerbside recycling bin
From 1 February 2024, materials accepted in your kerbside recycling and organics are changing.
Check out our Kerbside Standardisation page for more information.
Help us Recycle Right!
Check if the items you are placing in your recycling bin are able to be recycled through the kerbside service. Your recycling bin is only for the following clean items:
- Rigid plastic containers and bottles numbered 1, 2 and 5.
- Glass bottles and jars.
- Flattened cardboard.
- Paper.
- Drink cans and food tins.
Please also remember to:
- Rinse all bottles and containers clean (especially items such as milk bottles!).
- Remove all lids and place them in your rubbish bin.
- Put all soft plastics such as bags, films or wrappers into your rubbish bin. Soft plastics are a big problem at the recycling plant as they contaminate the paper and cardboard streams.
About the Kerbside Recycling Service
Recycling is collected fortnightly in 240 litre yellow lid wheelie bins and is a compulsory charge for households on the collection route. Householders who do not live on the collection route but would like to participate in the recycling collection can opt to order two black recycling crates which can be transported to a collection point.
There is a 60kg weight restriction on the bin. If your bin is too heavy it may be tagged by the contractor with a note informing you why it was not emptied.
To request a yellow-top recycling wheelie bin contact the Council's Helpline or use our Bin Request Form.
