♻️ Don’t forget, your waste and recycling collections are changing from 31 March!

Here’s what you need to know 👇

🟦 Glass recycling
You can no longer use your green box for glass. Instead, all glass should go in your blue-lidded bin along with paper, card, plastics and cans.

🛍️ Extra recycling
If your blue bin is full, you can put extra recycling (except glass) in a clear plastic bag and leave it next to your bin.

❗ Important: we can’t collect any glass that isn’t inside the bin.

🟩 What about your green box?
You don’t need to return it; you’re welcome to keep and reuse it.
If you do want to return it then please put it out from 31 March, it will be collected and recycled.

🌍 Why the change?
This update helps reduce the number of containers needed at home and prepares for the introduction of food waste collections later this summer.
