Recycling Points have coloured recycling containers (called banks) for each material. You can recycle some, if not all the following:
For any other materials not listed above, please refer to our A-Z of recycling section on how to dispose of these.
Most sites are in open car parks and available 24 hours a day, although a few sites may not be open overnight.
The orange plastic & can recycling bins and blue paper & cardboard recycling bins at Recycling Points are collected by a different vehicle to your household bins. You may notice that these bins are collected by the same vehicle at Recycling Points. Please continue to separate into plastics & can and paper & cardboard recycling bins as these bins may not always be collected together in the same vehicle.
The material from these bins is bulked and collected by a reprocessor who separate the material into plastic, can, paper and cardboard for recycling.
