Acceptable items for home plastic recycling

You can put the following empty items in your recycling bin:

• cans and tins

• foil (scrunched into a ball)

• paper and cardboard (excluding paper/hand towels, shopping receipts, serviettes and tissues)

• plastic bottles and containers labelled with code 1,2,3,4 or 5 (no plastic bottle lids)

Rinse clean items and remove all food and liquid from packaging.

Please note that recyclable items are initially hand-sorted by staff at the recycling facility, therefore sharp objects pose a safety hazard.
