Nappies

Nappies cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service.  If you are disposing of nappies, place these into the red bin.

Hose Pipe

Cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service.

If you are throwing away hose pipe, place into the RED bin or take to your local EcoDrop.

Clothes

Cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service. Clothing in the yellow bin causes problems at the MRF, plus the clothing has to be thrown away.

Please take unwanted clothes to your local EcoDrop to ensure it gets re-used.

Ammunition

Cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service. Ammunition risks causing an explosion at our MRF and causing harm to our staff.

Dispose of ammunition correctly and take to your local Police Station or Gun Club.  Your local gun shop can also offer advice on where to dispose of un-used rounds safely.

Gas Cylinders

Cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service. These present a hazard to the kerbside collection truck and our staff at the Material Recovery Facility through the risk of an explosion.

LPG cylinders can be dropped off for free at your local EcoDrop.

Furniture and Wood

We cannot recycle any wood or furniture we receive through the yellow bin service.

We can accept furniture at your local EcoDrop and if we can re-use it, it's free!

Waste Oil Containers

Cannot be recycled through the yellow bin service. These need to be disposed of in the red bin or at your local EcoDrop.  Unfortunately, the residual oil in the container is considered a hazardous material.

The remaining oil in the container can be disposed of for free at your local EcoDrop.  The empty container will then have to be disposed of into the pit or into the Red Bin.

Paint Tins

Paint tins are not accepted in the yellow bin. We will accept household volumes of paint free of charge at your local EcoDrop.  Placing them into the yellow bin can contaminate other recyclables.

Syringes and Medical Waste

These are a hazard for our staff members at the Material Recovery facility.

To dispose of these correctly, please place them into the Red bin or an approved sharps collection bin.
