Please use the GLASS BANKS for:

Glass bottles and jars in all colours. Many people recycle their bottles but forget about jars. Jam, sauces, spreads, pickled onions all come in clear jars so don't forget they can be recycled as well.

It is important to keep the glass separated into different colours. Our recycling banks collect green, brown and clear glass. If you have a colour you are not sure about, place it in the green glass bank.

Please remember we do not collect window panes, drinking glasses or Pyrex type cookware as they are made from a different type of glass than bottles and jars.

Please use the PAPER BANKS for:

Newspapers and magazines including catalogues and brochures. Please remove all plastic covers first.

We can also accept blue telephone directories and now Yellow pages too.

Please use the CAN BANKS for:

Both steel and aluminium food and drink cans. Please rinse your cans out if they are dirty and squashing them would also allow more cans to be deposited in the banks.

Aluminium food trays are also acceptable together with empty deodorant aerosols, but do not attempt to squash them.

Sorry we cannot collect other metal items like pots and pans.

Please use the TEXTILE Banks for:

Any old clothes, fabric, curtains and shoes. Good clean quality items are reused. Poor materials are used as stuffing material or turned into industrial cleaning cloths. Sorry we cannot collect duvets.

Please use the PLASTIC Banks for:

Plastic bottles only please. The main types include:

PET - Soft drinks, water, mouthwash, shampoo
PVC - Water, shampoo, vegetable oil
HDPE - Detergent, bleach, milk, squash
PP - Ketchup, syrup, medicine

Recycling a single plastic bottle can conserve enough energy to light a 60W lightbulb for up to 6 hours. Approximately 20,000 plastic bottles is equivalent to one tonne.
