Houses of multiple occupancy, house conversions and flats up to six properties may use the services designed for houses; for more details about household waste please see our household recycling page
You can recycle your household waste if you live in a block of flats using the flats recycling system. These bins can normally be found in or near to your bin store, or at the entrance to your flat.
The flats recycling system allows you to recycle the following items:
paper – including newspapers, magazines, envelopes, junk mail and telephone directories
food tins and drinks cans, aluminium foil and trays and aerosols
clear glass bottles and jars
green glass bottles and jars
brown glass bottles and jars
flattened cardboard; and
plastic packaging – including plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays.
Place the correct item in the correct bin, and it will be collected once a week for recycling.
