The residual waste bin
For items that cannot be recycled or composted.
What goes in the residual waste bin?
This is only for the materials and items that cannot either be recycled or composted, like:
- Floor sweepings
- Contaminated items
- Broken crockery
- Nappies & Wet wipes
- Soiled aluminium foil & containers
- Non-compostable disposable cups
- Composite items made of different, inseparable materials e.g. blister packs with both plastic and foil.
