What goes in your red recycling box

Within the Tendring district we operate an alternate weekly collection for recycling.  We have green recycling boxes for plastic bottles, tins and cans and red recycling boxes for paper and cardboard.

Food waste is collected every week.  We have two sizes available; a small internal food caddy for use inside your home and a larger external food caddy to present for collection.

To ensure that your box is emptied, please place it just inside your front boundary by 7am on the day of collection, but no earlier than the night before.

What goes in your red box

Remember

• Make sure your recycling is dry and clean
• Please flatten larger cardboard boxes and present them alongside your recycling box

To make sure you put the right box out in time for collection, take a look at our Rubbish and Recycling collections days form, which tells you when your boxes are due to be emptied.
