Paper and card: newspapers, magazines, envelopes and cardboard boxes
Plastic: bottles, pots, tubs and trays
Metal: drinks cans, food tins, clean foil and empty aerosols
Glass: bottles and jars
Cartons: food and drinks cartons, like juice and soup cartons

Plastic bags and wrapping will be added by 31 March 2027. Some councils are still bringing in some of these collections.
