Plastic Recycling

Fact

Plastics can take up to 500 years to decompose so plastic recycling is essential.

What you can recycle

Yes please – Drinks bottles, milk bottles, food containers (rinsed free of food waste), free standing soap dispensers, butter tubs.

What you can’t recycle

No thank you – Anything that is not plastic.

Where you put it

Put all your plastic bottles and food containers in our special Brightwaste cardboard recycling bins, in the CANS AND PLASTICS section.

How we collect it

The Brightwaste bin will have a transparent Brightwaste sack liner which you buy from us and when full it is taken to a collection point. We can collect from kerbside, car park or from within your office.

What happens to it

We collect all plastics and sort it ready for collection, ready for uplift to be sorted, shredded, melted and reformed into pellets to be made again into a new life.
