East Northants council area, recycling don'ts!!! check out what you can't recycle.
There are some surprising things on the list i.e used kitchen roll/tissues, and plant pots!!
What doesn't go in the recycling bin?
No thanks we cannot recycle these:
Expanded polystyrene ** This is code 6
Plastic bags, wrappers and film
Food waste
Toys
Used tissues and kitchen roll
Clothes (please use a textiles bank or charity collection for these)
Plant pots/trays
Other glass items such as drinking glasses, windows, vases, cookware (Pyrex/Visionware)
Batteries (by law any shop that sells batteries has to take back old household batteries for recycling) ** A lot of supermarkets have boxes you can put your used batteries in
Electrical items such as toasters, hairdryers, DVD players etc
Textiles - Unfortunately we are not able to recycle clothes and shoes in the green lidded bin. To recycle these please use the textile banks around the district, use a charity textile collection or take them to a charity shop.
Garden waste - this cannot go in either the green or grey lidded bin. We can recycle this through our Garden Waste Service or you can take it to one of the County Council's Household Waste Recycling Centres.
