Recycling-what will your council take?and in what?

[MerlinsBeard]

Following on from another thread, what containers do you have for your kerbside recycling? and what are you allowed to put in it?

Ours takes green boxes. They like you to sort everything out for them. they take glass, plastic bottles, paper and textiles. Everything else, you have to go to Sainsbury's car park..

I have a compost bin but tend to just put veg peelings in it. what else can I out in it?

ours only takes paper and cardboard once a fortnight.

for the rest, you have to drive it to a recycling centre.

large grey wheelie bin, emptied once a fortnight. takes paper, card, plastic bottles, cans. we take bottles to the local bottle bank.

Green wheelie - paper, card, any plastic, tins (should not be sorted)
Recycle at tip/bottle bank - tetra packs, glass
Brown wheelie- garden waste
Black wheelie- anything not otherwise dealt with
Composters - subsidised

Black/green alternate weekly collections. You can have as many green bins as you like

Exeter, Devon - they are brill really.

Big black bin - non recyclable
Big green bin - anything comostable
Black box - paper and card
Green box - glass, cans and tins.

Never understood why they don't take plastic bottles. I give these to my mum who is in the next bourgh and hers take it.
