What goes in each bin

‘Simpler Recycling’ rules

The government recently brought in new rules about what councils have to collect and recycle. This is to help standardise collections across England. However, our current recycling scheme is already compliant with rules, meaning we have not had to make any changes.

You can view what goes in each bin, box or sack, or search by item to find out how to dispose of a particular item.
