Recycling cardboard
If you have extra cardboard that won’t fit into your blue bin, please break it down to a size that would.
Leave the cardboard neatly stacked next to your blue bin.
We provide different types of recycling to flats. Some flats have their own containers while others share recycling containers. This page is for shared recycling containers.
