A common mistake made with plastic bottles and containers is leaving the tops and lids on. We advise that you keep recycling:
Topless
Lids and bottle tops are often made from a different type of plastic and contaminate the recyclable product. Remove lids and place in the red bin.
Clean
Food and drink residue contaminate recyclable material. A quick rinse before placing in the recycling bin is greatly appreciated.
Loose
Plastic bottles and containers are sorted using an optical sorter, which identifies the shape of the product. Sorters are unable to open individual bags of recycling so keep recycling loose and uncrushed in the bin. Remember to also put your plastic bags in the red bin.
