On the Road Recycling - Help Protect Our Environment

We value our environment and we know you do too. To make looking after our environment easier we've created a really simple way of you disposing of your recyclables as easily as possible as you travel around. Here's what you need to do.

Step 1 : Sort out what goes in your bag
Sorting out your recycling is easy, please take a moment to wash out your containers when you're doing your washing up. Doing this will help ensure we can continue to supply a high quality product back into the cycle.

  • Plastic bottles and containers. Look for the recycling triangle and ensure it has a number between 1 and 7 inside it.
    Look for these triangle and number combinations on your plastic containers
  • Glass bottles and jars
  • Tins and cans
  • Paper (newspapers, magazines, brochures)
