Bin - Blue lid (glass, cans, cardboard, paper, plastics)
Dry recycling is the material that goes in the 240 litre blue-lid bin and is collected fortnightly. Your bin should be put out at the edge of your property by 7am on the day of collection.
If your property doesn't have wheeled bins, recyclable materials are collected in the blue box and blue bags.

Help putting your bin out
If you are unable to put your blue-lid bin at the edge of your property and there is no-one else in your household over 16 years old who can do so you can apply for an assisted collection, and the refuse collectors will collect and return your bin from the storage point.
