Which bin/container should I use? Purple bin
What can you do with it?

We are thrilled to announce that from April 2026, you are now able to recycle your empty food and liquid cartons in your purple top bin.

Just rinse them out and pop them directly into the purple top bin with your other loose recycling.

You can still also recycle food and liquid cartons our local Household Recycling Centres (HRC).
