In general, items that can be recycled are: glass bottles and jars, along with plastic and metal lids; metal cans and tins; food and drink cartons; clean plastic bottles, food trays and tubs; empty aerosol cans; and clean tin foil and aluminium trays. Please give them a rinse to stop any smells in your bin.

However, we cannot accept: crisp and sweet wrappers; drinking glasses, pyrex, mirrors, ceramics, window glass or light bulbs; plastic bags or pouches containing baby food, yoghurts, sauces, juice or pet food; nappies, polythene or polystyrene; squeezable tubes for items like toothpaste; and ling film, bubble wrap and the thin plastic film covering food trays.

Thank you for recycling and supporting our efforts to improve recycling rates in North Lanarkshire.
