Please see the poster below for a full list of items to be recycled. Please ensure bottles and cartons are rinsed and dry, or seal them with lids. Cardboard and napkins  contaminated with food cannot be recycled and must be put in the black bin e.g. used paper plates, pizza boxes, napkins and tissues.
