The majority of the bring banks are available to use on a seven-day basis. However, please only use the bring banks between the hours of 8.00am to 10.00pm, to avoid causing disturbance to local residents.
Most bring bank location have three types of recycling containers available. They are as follows:
- Glass banks: You can recycle glass bottles and jars here.
Please separate them by colour – clear, green, and brown.
We do not accept the following items - ceramics, window glass, pyrex cookware or drinking glasses, as they are made of a different type of glass, and they will contaminate the glass contents in the container.
- Can banks: You can recycle Aluminium drinks cans here.
Please crush the cans so that more cans can fit into the container.
- Textile banks: You can recycle clothes, bags, and shoes here.
Please ensure that your items are clean and in good condition; shoes must be in pairs. Duvets and pillows are not accepted.
What to do if the bring bank is full?
