Recycling changes from 1 June
From 1 June, plastics grades 3 to 7 can no longer be collected in kerbside recycling or dropped at transfer stations as a result of significant changes to the global recycling market.
Residents can continue to recycle grades 1 and 2, which includes milk, drink bottles and detergent bottles. Other recycling categories including glass, tins, aluminium cans, paper and cardboard are not affected by the changes.
Grades 3 to 7 include widely-used items such as ice cream containers, yoghurt pots and takeaway containers.
The plastic category number can commonly be found in the recycling symbol on the bottom or side of plastic containers. More information here.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
