- Any recyclable materials (please check container links for what goes where)
- Food waste (this goes in your food caddy)
- Garden waste (this goes in your green bin)
- Hot ashes
- Batteries - some local shops have drop off points have a look at the recycling locator for your nearest one
- Disposable Vapes, see our A-Z for safe disposal
