There are 2 types of collection on alternate weeks:

• General & Food Waste
• Recycling & Food Waste

General & Food Waste

Put out these bins only:

• rubbish ('wheelie') bin
• large outdoor food waste bin

Recycling & Food Waste

Put out these bins only:

• recycling boxes (paper / card / glass)
• weighted recycling bag (plastic & metal - tins etc.)
• large outdoor food waste bin

Please put:

• General waste in your black wheelie bin
• Paper and card recycling in one of your recycling boxes
• Glass recycling in one of your recycling boxes
• Plastic and metal recycling in weighted bag
• Food waste in large outdoor food waste bin

Some key points regarding plastics:

• Any plastic recycling placed in a single-use, plastic bag, cannot be collected. Currently crews are having to split the bags by hand as they can no longer be processed as they were previously. If you haven't had your bagged plastic collected, please take it out of the bag and place it loose into your weighted reusable blue bag or another sturdy container
• SBC cannot recycle flexible plastics. Flexible plastics are ones that can be scrunched in your hand, for example bags used for salads/veg, crisp packets and clingfilm. So please place these in your general waste or take to your local supermarket for recycling

If you're unsure if something can be recycled, or which container an item should be placed in, you can search it in a look-up tool: Waste Wizard.
