Using recycling banks (some helpful tips)
- Try to plan your trip to the recycling centre along with other errands such as shopping trips or school runs.
- Junk mail and glossy magazines may be deposited in the paper banks.
- BT telephone directories may be deposited in paper banks, but not Yellow Pages.
- Please do not use paper banks for cardboard or tissue paper.
- Please rinse bottles, jars and cans before taking them to the recycling centre.
- Both food and drink cans may be deposited in can banks.
- Please put items made from blue glass in the green glass bank.
- Please do not deposit window glass, light bulbs, pyrex cooking dishes or drinking glasses.
- Always take refillable bottles (such as milk bottles) back to the supplier.
- Please do not leave behind cardboard boxes or plastic bags used to bring materials to the recycling centre.
- Please do not use the recycling centres late at night as you may disturb local residents.
- If the recycling banks are full, please try again another time.
If you leave recycling or other waste lying around the banks this is classed as fly-tipping.
Fly-tipping of commercial or household waste is contrary to Section 33: Environmental Act 1990 and offenders will be prosecuted.
