Recycling made easy

Recycling reminders

Recycling reminders

Making a note on your calendar or fridge will provide a visual reminder of the day/dates your recycling is collected. Nine out of ten UK residents now have access to a doorstep recycling collection.
Whole house recycling

Whole house recycling

It's common for people to recycle in the kitchen but forget other rooms. Recycle the waste from all the bins in your house. For example, if your council accepts plastic bottles for recycling then all plastic bottles can go into your collection, including shampoo bottles.

Keep it simple

Keep it simple

Keep your recycling bin next to your main bin so you can take your rubbish and recycling out at the same time. If you don't already have a recycling box or bag you should contact your local council. See the Recycle Now website for more information about recycling.
