We currently have 32 bring sites around the District where you can recycle glass, paper, cans, plastic, textiles, shoes and books. Our online list of sites - pdf will tell you:

• Where each of the sites is located; and
• what type of waste each site will accept.

Although all of our recycling banks are emptied on a regular basis, at certain times of the year, such as Christmas, recycling centres are much busier. If you do find the banks are full please don't leave items at the side or on top of them.  As well as being unsightly, broken glass could cause injury to people and animals. 

You can also use your postcode to find your nearest recycling site on the Recycle Now website.
