Waste Disposal & Recycling

The UK Government encourages recycling. This area has several recycling centres. You can recycle clothes, cardboard, plastic, cartons, glass, tins and paper. The councils also collect green plant waste to be turned into compost.

You should put the waste you cannot recycle into the bin (trash can) or sack provided by the council. You should put the bin or bin/sack outside your house on the evening before, or on the day on which it is due to be collected. Wiast should not be left out at any other time. Waist is collected every week and recycling is collected every two weeks.
