Many materials that cannot be placed in your recycling bin, such as glass and textiles can be taken to your local mini-recycling centres. In Mid Suffolk we have over 250 bottle banks, 109 paper banks and 31 textile banks.

Find your nearest recycling facility by searching online at: recyclenow

Using your local mini recycling facility helps local community groups receive recycling grants. You can help protect Mid Suffolk’s environment by following these guidelines:

• Please use the correct recycling banks for the correct materials.
• Please do not leave boxes, bags etc at the recycling sites.
• Please put recyclables into the banks, not on the ground.
• If the recycling banks are full, please do not leave recyclables on the ground.
• Report full banks to Mid Suffolk DC, and either take your recyclables home and visit the recycling banks another day, or visit an alternative recycling site.
• Do not use these sites for general rubbish or trade waste.
• Please be considerate of local residents by not using the recycling banks between 8pm and 8am.

To report full recycling banks, or to report any other problems at recycling sites, please call us on 0845 606 6067 or email customerservice@csduk.com
