What can and cannot be recycled

Bin lorry

 

Recycling from Charnwood goes to Casepak, a Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) in Leicester. Materials are sorted into the different material categories using state of the art equipment and machinery before being baled and sent on to processers for recycling.

How to present your recycling

  • Empty, rinse and dry all bottles, jars and containers 
  • Place lids back on all bottles, jars and cartons
  • All packaging should be empty
  • Items should go in loose (all items separate)
  • Flatten cardboard* and cartons – keep it dry

*Large pieces of neatly flattened cardboard can be left by the side of your recycling bin
