Trial recycling bin (red lid)

Blue bin with red lid

This bin is only for your paper and card and is the same as your other bins.

The bin is a standard size the same as your household and blue recycling bin (Capacity: 240 litres).

Collections will be every four weeks on a Thursday. Check your bin collection dates.

This bin can be used for:

  • brochures
  • all cardboard (no polystyrene or bubble wrap)
  • newspapers and magazines
  • junk mail and envelopes
  • telephone directories and catalogues
  • yellow pages
  • paper including shredded paper (wrapped in newspaper)

Recycling bins will not be collected if any incorrect items are placed inside.

Dirty or greasy cardboard, plastic bags and sacks of any kind cannot be recycled in this recycling bin and can only be disposed of in your household bin. We will not remove any materials left next to the bin or put out in bin bags.

No wet paper or cardboard should go in the bin. Wet paper and cardboard can stick to the machinery and clog up the system at the recycling plant.
