Bin Store Recycling

If you live in a flat, or a communal property, you'll have a bin store [3MB] . There will be a number of green bins within the bin store to use for recycling. There will also be a purple bin for food waste recycling.

The recycling bins are clearly labelled to show which material can be put into them:

• Blue top bin - paper and cardboard
• Brown top bin - glass bottles and jars
• Red top bin - plastic bottles, aerosols and cans
• Purple bin- food waste recycling [3MB] (please only use compostable liners)

To make sure you get a great service:

• please use empty bins at the back of the bin store first
• only put rubbish that can't be collected by the recycling scheme in the black rubbish bins
• keep your bin store tidy -make sure all recycling and rubbish is placed inside the bins; no recycling or rubbish should be left on the floor or on top of the bins
• don't block access to the bin store  - if access is blocked by cars or other vehicles we may not be able to collect your rubbish
• don't leave furniture or large items of rubbish in your bin store - large household furniture can be taken to Newtown Road Recycling Centre or collected by our bulky waste service
