The district council where you live is the organisation that is responsible for collecting your household rubbish. The ways recyclable materials are collected will vary from area to area.

Some, for example, provide a large bin into which you can put a mix of things – tins, aluminium foil, plastic packaging, paper and bottles. Others provide smaller bins and ask you to use one for paper and cardboard and the other for plastic, bottles, tins etc. Some will also collect small electrical items and/or old clothes.
