Extra recycling or cardboard
We will collect any extra recycling (except glass and cardboard) in a clear plastic bag that has been left next to your bin.
If you have extra cardboard this can be left loose next to your bin on your collection day. Make sure it is broken down, flattened and no more than a recycling box could hold. If you have more cardboard than the size of a recycling box then please put it in your blue-lidded bin over a few weeks.
