Rubbish Recycling - Blue Lidded Bin

Stratford-on-Avon District Council provide a recycling service for waste paper, magazines, yellow pages, glass bottles and jars, food and drinks cans, cardboard, pastic bottles and cartons. This is carried out on the same days as for your refuse collection but on a fortnightly basis.

The materials should be put in your blue lidded bin, which will be provided. As an alternative you can take waste materials for recycling to one of our local Mini Recycling Centres.

The material will be collected from each property boundary (nearest the road). Your bin should be available for emptying by 6am on your normal collection day.

If you have not received a blue lidded bin or are experiencing any operational difficulties please contact us using the details proivided at the bottom of this page.

What happens to your material after it has been collected?

Glass bottles and jars go to make new bottles and jars or are ground down to make a fine aggregate for use in concrete or in bitumen road surfacing. Bottle making is the preferred options so some of our material in exported to Europe for this use.

For more information on what happens to your material, please visit our recycling partners Pure Recycling for an in depth look at the recycling process.

For further information please contact Streetscene on 01789 260616 or by email at streetscene@stratford-dc.gov.uk or by fax on 01789 260607.
