Cardboard
Cardboard that won’t fit into your bin should be flattened and tied in a bundle. Please leave this next to your bin. To keep it dry, you can put it in a clear bag (not a black or coloured bag). Put any cardboard stained or dirty with foodstuffs, grease, paint or dirt in your rubbish bin - this cannot be recycled.
Items that can't go in recycling or rubbish bins
Some items that can’t go in your recycling or rubbish bin can be taken to a community recycling centre.
Missed collections
You can report a missed bin collection online.
