What goes in each bin?

It's important we get the right items in the recycling; luckily most common recyclable items can be put in your recycling bin or box at home in Buckinghamshire. Such as

• Plastic pots, tubs, trays and bottles including:
  • Meat trays
  • Fruit punnets
  • Pots e.g. yoghurt and soup
  • Tubs e.g butter/margarine, ice cream
  • Dishwasher tablet and washing capsule tubs
  • bottles such as squash, cleaning and shampoo
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Cartons (juice, soup etc)
• Cans
• Glass
• Foil (scrunched together to approx. the size of a tennis ball)

There are some variations in Buckinghamshire (like the colour of your bins), depending on where you live.
