Please only use textile collection banks clearly branded by Green World Recycling.

Items for textile banks can either be placed straight into the container (i.e. without a bag) or in standard sized carrier bags.

Refuse sacks must not be used – they are unlikely to fit through the openings of the textile banks or if they do, will often block the chutes, thus making the banks difficult to use.

Please keep shoes paired together, e.g. by tying the laces together, using string or elastic bands, or using a standard sized carrier bag.

Third party recycling sites

A search tool on Recycle Now is available, to help users find recycling collection points at other sites, such as supermarkets.

Plastic Free Bookham have produced a search tool, to make it easier for residents to find out what can be recycled and where.
