Household Waste Guide

With so many different types of household waste it's often difficult to remember the things that can be recycled and what goes where. The table below gives a quick guide to recycling services. They are mainly provided by the Royal Borough but there may be other recycling places and services in your local area, such as supermarket take-back schemes for carrier bags. Although fairly extensive the list is not exhaustive and there may be items which you come across which are not listed.
