Can I recycle it?
Bread bags are collected as part of your recycling collection.
Put bread bags and other plastic bags and wrapping out for collection in a carrier bag tied at the top. You can also use an empty bread bag to collect your other plastic bags and wrapping.
- Small amount to recycle? Tuck your tied bag inside your red recycling bag
- Lots to recycle and no space in your red bag? Place the tied bag on top of your black box or tuck it alongside your recycling bags so it doesn't blow away
Which container?
Bread bags go in your red recycling bag, on top of your black box or tucked alongside your recycling bags.
When is my collection day?
