Please remember to rinse your plastic bottles and cans and place all items loosely in your green bin or green liner if you do not have wheeled bins (not in any other bags)

Items such as large cardboard boxes which will not fit in your green liner may be presented for collection in a manageable bundle.

#

The items above should not be placed in your green bag because they currently cannot be dealt with at the recycling plant.

What happens to green bin materials?

The materials are taken to our materials recycling facility in Huddersfield where they are sorted into individual material types and then they are sent to reprocessing plants to be made into new products. Sorting is done by a series of machines and by hand.
