Do you have items going into your non-recycling bin that you think could be recycled but are not currently collected by the council?
Baby food pouches, batteries, candles, takeaway coffee cups, crisp packets, milk cartons, printer cartridges….. There is a surprising amount of things that do not need to go to landfill. Use our recycling map below to see where you can take your recyclable rubbish in our local area. And if you like the map, there is a downloadable poster for you to share to your colleagues or in your window perhaps, to help spread the word!

What about Reuse?
Do you have items that you no longer need that could be used by others? As well as making use of any charity bags dropped through your door, or taking items to charity shops when they are accepting donations, why not also check out the below sites for ways to pass them on locally, or our page on repair and reuse for further resources.

- St Albans Reuse project

Great idea, thanks for doing this. It would be great to also have the items on the map as a list.
Thanks – I think you can see lists if you type into the search space.
Would you consider public recycling facilities, dotted around the area, within walking or cycling distance, for glass, cans, cardboard, like they do in Switzerland?
Hi there. These locations are included on the map – we don’t provide them of course but we do list those that are available to the public.
