Waste sorting

By sorting your waste, you help reduce the amount sent to landfill and give materials a second life. In this section, you will find out what can and cannot go in each container.

Three key rules

• Do not put sorted waste in bags – place it loose in the container. Tied bags cannot be sorted, so they end up with household waste.

• Flatten packaging – more will fit in the container.

• Packaging must be clean and dry, with no food residue.

Plastic, paper and metal packaging

• Plastic drinks bottles
• Plastic bags and packaging

• Single-use plastic and paper tableware and cutlery

Tip: before throwing packaging away, flatten it and make sure it is clean and dry.

Glass packaging

What goes in:

• Glass bottles

• Glass jars

What doesn’t go in:

• Window glass and mirrors

• Ceramic, porcelain and earthenware dishes

• Light bulbs and fluorescent tubes

• Heat-resistant glassware

Tip: rinse bottles and jars lightly with water before throwing them away, and put the lids in the packaging bin.

What goes in:

• Food waste, e.g. fruit and vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, tea bags

What doesn’t go in:
