Ordering pink recycling sacks

Check your collection

Not sure which collection you are? You can check what collection you are and whether you are eligible for pink sacks on our collection day look up.

If you are on weekly collections

If you do not have a green recycling bin, it is because you live in a weekly collection area. You are eligible for pink sacks.

You will receive two deliveries of pink sacks a year, which will provide you with approximately two sacks per week.

If you need more pink sacks, you can collect them from either the Community Contact Centre or the Tourist Information Centre. The opening hours for both can be found here.

If you have assisted collections

You will receive two deliveries of pink sacks a year, which will provide you with approximately two sacks per week.

If you need more pink sacks, you can collect them from either the Community Contact Centre or the Tourist Information Centre. The opening hours for both can be found here.

Alternately you can request pink sacks are delivered to you. Please call the Community Contact Centre on 01424 451077 to order more. Please note this service is only for residents that are registered for an assisted waste collection.

If you have a recycling bin

If you have a green recycling bin you do not need to use pink sacks and you will not be eligible for them. Your recycling should be placed straight into the bin.

If you have more recycling waste than you can fit in your bin you can place it beside the bin in plastic bags of any colour but not in a typical black refuse sack.
