Recycling collections
Smart Sacks
Recycling is easy. If your rubbish is collected from outside your property in a normal dustbin or black sack, you can also have your recycling collected weekly in an orange Smart Sack. We collect your recycling and rubbish on the same day, using a one pass collection vehicle. The vehicle has two compartments to keep the rubbish and recycling separate.
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. Visit the Recycle Western Riverside website (opens in new window), to find out more about the benefits of recycling.

Please remember to:
- remove lids from jars and bottles
- give bottles, jars, cans and cartons a quick rinse in your washing up water
- flatten cardboard boxes
- squash plastic bottles and cartons
- make sure aerosols are empty.
Sorry we can't accept any other items in the Smart Sack at the moment. It's important to keep other items out of the Smart Sack. They are classed as contamination and may cause the contents of the Smart Sack to be sent to landfill rather than be recycled.
