Request replacement/additional/new recycling bins

Please note: Flats do not receive a brown bin or purple bin service. Please do not request these bins if you live in a flat.

What recycling bins should I have?

Residents within flats/tenements/multi-storey properties will have recycling bins for;

• blue bin for recycling paper, cardboard, plastic bottles and food and drink cans
• grey bin for the collection of food waste. 

Four blue 240 litre bins is provided as standard to a close of 8 flats.  However, the type and size of bins within these property types may differ due to access and space requirements.

The majority of flatted properties do not have a garden and the brown bin service is not currently provided to these property types.

A glass collection service is not provided to flatted properties, however, a network of public recycling points is provided for glass bottles and jars which are predominantly located in areas of high density housing.
