If you are bringing recycling to your nearest community recycling centre, you will need to be separate it into the following materials:
- cans
- plastic bottles
- glass bottles and jars
- paper and card
Bring banks - food and drink carton recycling
You can recycle food and drinks cartons at 2 ‘bring banks’ in Elmbridge:
- Mayfield Road, Hersham next to Walton-on-Thames train station
- Heath South car park, Weybridge
You can use these to recycle items that cannot be placed in your blue-lidded recycling bins, including:
- juice and milk cartons
- paper cups including coffee cups
- other beverage cartons
- soup, tomato and other food cartons
- many of these items are commonly known as ‘Tetrapaks’ or ‘Elopaks’
We ask that you help us in the following ways:
- wash, squash and cap your cartons to maximise the numbers that can be collected
- do not: put any other waste in the banks, such as paper, glass, or cans
- do not: leave any cartons next to the banks if they are full (this is fly-tipping which is an additional cost to the council) - you can take them to a Community Recycling Centre (Surrey County Council).
Recycling on your doorstep
Most residents now benefit from a weekly kerbside collection of clothes, textiles and small electrical items alongside their usual recycling collection.
If you cannot fit your recycling in your blue-lidded recycling bin, you can:
- put it in clear bags and leave it out for collection
- take it to your nearest Community Recycling Centre (Surrey County Council)
- order a larger or second recycling bin, see new or replacement bins for more information
For more information on what can and can’t be recycled, see what goes in which bin.
