FAQs

Yes, if a container has a lid, please take it off. This is because the majority of lids are made from mixed materials. Please place metal lids in the recycling bin and all plastic lids in the general waste bin.
Until manufacturers use the same type of plastic for the lid that they use for the container, we are unable to accept plastic lids. Because plastics melt at different temperatures they are processed by different methods. This makes it impossible to recycle different types of plastics together. Until there is new technology available, plastics lids will need to be placed in the general waste bin.
Containers must be empty. Simply rinse, tip or scrape out solids or liquids from your container.
