Flats and communal collections

Blocks of flats and communal properties normally have large shared bins for recycling (paper, glass bottles and jars and cans) and for general refuse.

Communal recycling bins

Materials currently recycled are:

Paper – newspapers, magazines, leaflets, directories, white envelopes (no need to remove windows) and other white paper.

Glass bottles and jars – no table or cook ware.

Food and drink cans – rinsed and squashed if possible; no need to remove labels.

We hope in future to be able to recycle more materials from communal recycling points, such as cardboard, plastic bottles and food waste.

Arrangements for communal collection points are normally made with site owners or managing agents. Please contact us for further details.
