More information on your new food waste collection.

A simple guide explaining what goes in your new bins.

The Suffolk Waste Partnership have consulted Suffolk Sight to design and develop a set of stickers for Better Recycling bins.

The stickers, that can be placed on each type of bin lid, are now available on request by contacting your local council.

A sticker can be placed on each of your recycling and food bins to help you identify the type of waste bin it is and therefore what you can put in it.

On the top left-hand corner of each sticker is a raised yellow shape to feel and help you identify the waste type.

The sticker with the raised yellow circle should be placed on your new outdoor grey food container.

The sticker with the raised yellow square should be placed on your new green-lidded bin for paper and card recycling.

The sticker with the raised yellow triangle should be placed on your blue-lidded bin for all other recycling including tins, cartons, glass bottles and jars, cartons and plastic containers, trays and film.
