What you can recycle

There are Reuse Cabins at each recycling centre where you can donate reusable household items like furniture, as well as bikes. These things will be collected by local charities who pass them on to people in need. Items must be in full working order and comply with current fire and/or safety regulations.

You can also recycle items including bikes, bricks, cardboard, carpets, energy saving light bulbs, engine oil, car batteries, tyres, fridges, freezers, fluorescent tubes, garden waste, gas bottles, glass, household batteries, large electrical equipment, low grade wood , metal, mattresses, packaging, paper, small electrical items, solid wood and TVs. Before you visit you may want to separate your items to make recycling easier.
