Recycling information
- Always rinse your glass bottles/jars, cans, plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays and foil trays, as we cannot recycle any items containing food waste.
- Ensure all items are placed loose inside the blue and brown wheeled bins, as plastic bags can’t be recycled.
- Household batteries can be recycled in a battery bag or a clear sandwich bag. Please place on top of the blue or brown bin for collection.
- Visit www.fylde.gov.uk/whichbin for a full list of recyclable items.
