What can I recycle in the Smart Sack or Smart Bank

These items can be mixed together in the Smart Sack.

Mixed glass, paper and card, plastic bottles, cartons, tins and cans and aerosols

New - plastic pots, tubs and trays can now be recycled

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

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.
