Recycling Boxes
Each property has been provided with three boxes for recycling:
- 1 box for newspapers, magazines, junk mail and white directories (no Yellow Pages)
- 1 box for glass bottles and jars
- 1 box for food & drinks cans, aerosols and plastic bottles.
Please note that the only type of plastic we can currently collect is bottles. No other type of plastic, such as trays, bags, margarine tubs, yoghurt pots etc should be placed in your box. Please wash, squash and remove the lids.
The recycling is collected fortnightly, on the opposite week to your brown bin collection. The boxes must be left at the property boundary by 7am on the day of collection (or by 6.30am for any Saturday collections)

If you live in a flat you may have different arrangements, such as communal bins on a rack system. If you are unsure about the arrangements either contact your Estate Officer or call the Customer Service Centre.
We will collect extra recycling if left next to the boxes in carrier bags (not black sacks).
