Plastic bag and wrapping recycling trial

FlexCollect soft plastic recycling

We're making it easy for you to recycle your plastic bags and wrapping by trialling a recycling collection from your home. The trial is currently available to a small number of residents but will gradually expand to more residents over the next two to three years.

Your plastic bags and wrapping will be collected on the same day as your other recycling so that we can all recycle better, together.

If your area has been selected to take part in the trial, we will have delivered some of collection bags. Place only your plastic bags and wrapping in the collection bag, tie it securely, and place in your existing recycling boxes.

We will collect your plastic bags and wrapping on the same day as your normal recycling collections.

If you need more collection bags, please email [email protected] with your name and address.

For more information about the scheme, including details of what you can recycle, please visit the Recycle Now website.
