• Handbags, belts and shoes - tied into pairs

Use the red printed bags for:

• Plastic bottles - washed, squashed and tops off
• Tins and cans - rinsed and squashed
• Clean aluminium foil and trays
• CDs

No glass!

Bags are sorted by hand so broken glass could cause an injury.

No food waste, plastic tubs/trays or any other unrecyclable waste!
