Using the service

You do not need to sort the recycling in your green box on the mixed recycling service.  Please just put all your items for recycling in the box without any additional plastic bags.  For more information please see the How the recycling is collected section.

Please leave your green box by the front gate (but not on the pavement) so that the collection crews can easily see your recycling.

Many collections are made early in the morning, so please put your green box out the night before your scheduled collection day

How the recycling is collected

Your recycling is collected by a special type of vehicle which looks similar to a normal refuse truck but has two compartments. One compartment is used to collect the food and garden waste whilst the other is used for the mixed recycling from your green box.

All the mixed recycling is compacted in this vehicle so that more materials can be collected every day. This helps to reduce the number of vehicles on the road, saving fuel and therefore cutting carbon emissions.

Your recycling is taken to a Materials Recovery Facility, where the latest technology is used to separate the different materials.  The sorted items are then sent to reprocessing companies to be recycled into new products.

For more information, please see the mixed material collections section on the what happens to recycling page.
