Please note, the recycling information below applies from first week of June when the new Better Recycling service starts.
Reduce
When shopping, don't accept unwanted plastic bags - take reusable bags with you.
Reuse
Plastic bags can be re-used as bin liners or dog litter bags.
Some charity shops may accept plastic bags for reuse.
Recycle
You can recycle plastic bags in your blue-lidded recycling bin.
Please ensure they are loose - don't add a bag of bags to the bin.
Most supermarkets also offer soft and flexible plastic recycling.
Please check with the store in advance or check on the recycling locator.
Disposal
Plastic bags and film can't be put in your kerbside recycling bin or recycled at the Suffolk Recycling Centre.
Bags brought to the Recycling Centres will have to put in general non-recyclable due to increasing difficulty finding markets for this material or they can go in your household rubbish bin at home.
