Blue bins (recycling)

About your blue recycling bin

Your blue bin is for recycling.

If you put something that cannot be recycled into your blue bin, our collection crew cannot empty it and a tag or yellow and black tape will be placed on the bin. 

One incorrect item placed into your blue recycling bin can cause contamination and whole truck loads of recyclable materials may be rejected.

Please remember: 

  • Wash all materials before placing in your recycling bin; it helps to keep your bin clean and prevents contamination.
  • Return your bin to your property on the same day after collection.
  • Please only put the correct items in your recycling bin to prevent contaminating the load.
  • Squash the materials together before placing in your blue bin for more space.
  • Do not leave out large items or extra bags as these will not be collected.
