milk and drinks bottles
bathroom and laundry bottles and tubs
moulded plastic packaging
food, fruit and ready meal pots, tubs and trays
plastic container lids
squashed plastic bottles with the lid attached

All of the above should be:

Clean - free from food and drink leftovers
Dry - keep your recycling bin lid shut
Loose- no plastic bags
Squashed – to save space in your bin squash bottles (then reattach the lid) and cardboard boxes

For those Arundel residents who have recycling sacks instead of bins please note that glass cannot be put in the sacks and instead can be taken to your nearest neighbourhood recycling site.

These items can be taken to your local recycling site, along with clothes and shoes at selected sites. Lots of household items such as electrical goods can also be recycled at household waste recycling sites (HWRS). For some HWRS you’ll need to book an appointment.
