  • Cardboard - e.g. cardboard boxes (broken up to fit in the bin/box), packaging material
  • Glass - Bottles and jars
  • Tins and cans - Food tins and drinks cans
  • Plastic packaging - e.g. bottles, yoghurt pots, margarine tubs, fruit punnets, microwave trays
  • Aluminium foil
  • Cartons - e.g. tetrapak, drinks cartons, soup cartons
  • Please note: No cling film type plastic or plastic bags

    Please ensure all material is clean and dry and put loose into you bin/box for collection.

    If you have excess material, you can take it to one of the Council's Mini Recycling Centres or one of Warwickshire County Council's Waste and Recycling Centres.

    What happens to my recycling?

    Recyclable material is collected and taken to a Material Recover Facility (MRF) run by Pure Recycling in Ettington. The mixed material is then sorted using magnets, optical sorting and other technology until the different materials are sorted into seperate waste streams.

    Materials are then bulked and taken to various reprocessing facilities in the UK where they are made into new products. Examples of what your recycling could become are listed below:

    For more information on what happens to your material, please visit Pure Recycling's website for an in depth look at the recycling process. Alteratively, you can watch a short film of our appearance on Blue Peter showing how the material is processed through the Material Recover Facility.
