GENERAL TIPS
Please separate into the categories listed and present on your collection day in the yellow bag. Clean textiles can be presented in doubled black bin liners, this prevents the textiles from becoming wet. Please leave flattened cardboard boxes beside yellow sack. Please place bagged papers in the bottom of the sack then mixed glass in bags and other bagged items on top. This prevents glass from smashing.
