Extra recycling capacity

Before applying, make sure you:
- use the recycling containers already provided to your household
- only put accepted mixed recycling in your blue-lidded bin
- separate paper and card and put these in your red-lidded bin
Additional recycling capacity will be assessed based on your household's needs.
Request a mixed recycling bin
- Apply for additional recycling capacity if you regularly have more recycling than you have space for.
- Apply for reduced recycling capacity if you do not need all of the recycling capacity currently provided to your household.
