Your yellow lidded bin is for the collection of material that can be recovered and remade into useful products. Generally the majority of household waste is recyclable, however many people do not realise quite how much can be recycled!
While many items are recyclable, it doesn't mean they all should go in the recycling bin. The recycling bin is mainly for paper and containers made of cardboard, glass, metal and rigid plastic.
Paper, newspaper and magazines Cardboard boxes (non waxed) Books and phone books Glass bottles and jars Plastic bottles Rigid plastic, biscuit trays, plastic pots etc. Aluminium and steel cans Aluminium foil scrunched into a ball and trays Aerosol cans (empty)
Loose plastic bags or loose flexible plastic packaging Hard plastic (broken toys) Windows or windscreens E-waste Batteries Crockery, Pyrex or broken glass Motor oil containers Hazardous or chemical waste Polystyrene Waxed cardboard Paper with food remains Nappies Syringes
