Waste segregation guide
Separating your waste correctly means more is recovered and less goes to landfill.
Organic
Food scraps and garden waste - compostable.
e.g. peels, leftovers, leaves
Plastics
Clean plastic bottles, containers and packaging.
e.g. PET bottles, tubs, film
Paper & card
Clean, dry paper and cardboard.
e.g. boxes, newspaper, office paper
Glass
Bottles and jars - rinsed.
e.g. beverage bottles, jars
Metals
Cans and clean metal packaging.
e.g. cans, foil, tins
Hazardous
Keep separate - never mix with general waste.
e.g. batteries, e-waste, chemicals
Tip: rinse containers and keep recyclables dry and loose - not bagged inside other bags.
