You will be able to recycle the following items in your blue-lidded bin:

plastic bottles
plastic pots, tubs and trays

Black plastic and plastic films cannot be recycled.

Black box

You can continue to recycling the following items in your black box:

paper
glass bottles and jars
tins and cans
clean foils

You will keep the same containers for your rubbish and recycling and will still be able to recycling all the same things that you currently can, but will also have the opportunity to recycling a wider range of items.

Wiltshire Council are still able to collect non-recyclable household waste and garden waste for a charge.

Please note, collection days will still remain the same.
