Your yellow recycling bin is collected every second week.
Recycling bin (yellow lid)
Your yellow bin is for recyclable packaging including glass, metal, paper and some plastics. Make sure to empty containers of any food or liquid. If any substantial residue is stuck on a container, give it a quick rinse. Plastic bottles can be crushed. Reattach any lids to jars or bottles before putting them into the yellow bin. Loose lids go in the red bin.
