Ash (coal and wood)

Can I recycle it?

We do not collect ash as part of your household recycling collection service.

Wood ash can be added to your home composting bin or used as a soil fertiliser. Ash from coal or anthracite should be put in your rubbish bin as it has little or no nutritional benefit and is potentially harmful to soil, plants and consumers of edible produce.

Always let ash cool down before placing it in any bin.
