Nice Save! Last year H&F saved £500,000 by recycling. It costs £128 for us to dispose of a tonne of waste, compared to just £73 a tonne for recycling. Please keep up the good work and recycle as much as you can. Recycling also protects natural resource, saves energy and creates jobs.

Sorry, we can’t accept any other items in the Smart Bank at the moment. It’s important to keep other items out of the Smart Bank. They are classed as contamination and may cause the contents of the Smart Bank to be sent to landfill rather than being recycled.
Please put items into the Smart Bank loose. The collection crew may mistake black bags for rubbish and the recycling may be sent to landfill.
