Can I recycle it?
Cling film is collected as part of your recycling collection.
Put cling film and other plastic bags and wrapping out for collection in a carrier bag or bread bag tied at the top.
- 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?
Cling film goes in your red recycling bag, on top of your black box or tucked alongside your recycling bags.
When is my collection day?
