Where to drop…

Sorting

Green bin

  • Cardboard (flattened), paper, newspapers
  • Plastic bottles and containers, emptied
  • Cans and tins, rinsed
  • Loose, not in a bag

Grey bin

  • Household rubbish
  • Plastic film and bags
  • Lids and caps from glass jars
  • If in doubt: grey bin

Glass

  • Bottles and jars go in the glass banks (see the map)
  • No need to rinse them
  • Never in the bins

No green waste or dead animals in the grey bin: the bin may be refused at collection.
