Pillow cases

Can I recycle it?

We recycle your clean, dry bedsheets, duvet covers and pillow cases as part of your  household recycling collection service. No matter how old or worn they are.

Please put your unwanted bedding in a tied carrier bag and put it out on top of your recycling box for glass. 

Duvets and pillows are not recyclable.

Please dispose of these in your rubbish bin or at most local Household Waste Recycling Centres.

Which container?

Household glass and textiles box, which for most people is the black box.

Check your collection day
