We currently accept the four most common types
of plastic -
Type 1 PET(E), Type 2 (HDPE) Type 5 (PP)
and Type 6 (PS)
Type 1, or Polyethylene Terephthalate,
is commonly used to make fizzy drink bottles, water bottles and
salad trays
Type 2, or High Density Polyethylene,
is mainly used to make milk bottles, bleach, cleaners and most
shampoo bottles.
Type 5, or Polypropylene, is
commonly used to make margarine tubs and microwaveable meal trays.
Type 6, or Polystyrene, is mainly
used to make yoghurt pots, foam hamburger boxes, plastic egg cartons,
plastic cutlery and protective packaging for electronic goods.
You can identify what type of plastic you have
by looking for an embossed triangular logo normally around the
base:
* For type 1 look for both the number
1 or the letters PET(E).
* For type 2 look for both the number 2 or the letters HDPE.
* For type 5 look for both the number 5 or the letters PP
* For type 6 look for both the number 6 or the letters PS
The logo with both letters and numbers is shown
in the picture at the top of this page, however the logo is sometimes
displayed with only numbers or only letters.
We can not accept plastic with any other combination
of letters or numbers for recycling because, at the moment, it
is difficult to do and expensive and we do not have a secure end
market for recycling the other types of plastic.
Please do not recycle plastic without a logo,
flower pots, cling film, carrier bags, bin liners, bubble wrap
or plastic types 3, 4, 7 or above.

your non-recyclable waste. You can drop off your waste at the
centre as long as your vehicle is less than six-feet high.
Please try and compost as much green garden waste
as possible at home as it is a more environmentally-friendly way
