Have you heard of Recycle Coach?
Recycle Coach is an app that can be downloaded from the App or Apple Store and tells you what can and can’t be recycled as well as when your collections are due. It can even send you email or SMS reminders.
You can register for the Recycle Coach App HERE.
Your YELLOW lidded bin is your recycling bin and the RED lidded bin is for general household waste.
For a list of what can and can’t be recycled check out this list A-Z Recycling and this list Kerbside-Recycling-dos-and-donts AUG2019
