Blue bags - Recycling

We deliver three rolls of blue bags anually. You can put out as many blue bags as you like every week. Keep all your recyclables dry and clean. Remember to wash and squash - filling every bag to the brim could save you a trip to collect an extra roll.

Use to recycle:

  • Metal cans and tins, aerosols, and foil
  • Plastic bottles, pots, tubs, and trays
  • Paper, cardboard and cartons
  • Never put glass in your blue bags as it is dangerous for our workers – use your glass recycling collection box if you have one or recycle it at one of our bottle banks instead
  • Blue/black bags will not be collected from wheelie bins for health and safety reasons. Please put your blue/black bags out for collection at the kerbside. We will collect from ordinary dustbins, as long as the waste is bagged.

All recycling bags with the wrong items in will be marked with a sticker and left behind for you to re-sort. 

When is your next bin / recycling collection?


You will also be able to download your collection calendar.

Where can I get blue bags/kitchen caddy liners?

We deliver annually between September – January. If you run out before your delivery you can order more online.
