Following a major investment in new machinery by theCouncil's recycling partner Transcycle Limited you no longer have to separate glass from other recycling materials when they are presented for collection. However, all materials need to be loose in your blue bin or Erewash Recycling Bags. Please do not use any bin liners or carrier bags.
Why Recycle
Find out why you should recycle and in what ways you can help the environment.
Waste Reduction
There are many ways to reduce the amount of resources you consume and therefore the amount of waste you produce. Simply re-using your carrier bags when you go shopping helps protect the environment. Recycling completes the cycle of goods by allowing them to be used again and again.
Where to recycle
Before you recycle have you considered reusing those materials at home? Bottles, boxes and jars can be used for storage. Shopping bags can be used more than once! Perhaps a charity shop could use your old clothes, books etc.
If you really can't reuse your items then you can use other options.
Rubbish and waste disposal (A-Z)
If you really can't recycle anymore, we show you how to dispose of your waste safely and responsibly.
