South Glos is now offering people living in flats with communal recycling facilities an improved standardised service. Following the changes, waste will be collected from four types of bin stored in the communal areas:

• Paper and cardboard
• Plastic, cans, aerosols and foil
• Glass bottles and jars
• Black residual bins will still be available for those materials that cannot be recycled.

These changes do not affect flats that receive the normal household collection service. You can find out more at www.southglos.gov.uk/sortit

This improvement is being paid for by removing the public recycling banks serviced by SITA on behalf of the council that are located in supermarket car parks, village hall car parks, social clubs and sports clubs. They will no longer be needed as everyone will now have kerbside collections. This does not effect banks run by charities.
