(1/2) NEWS: 🗣️ A new optional additional garden waste service is set to launch from Monday, 2 June. 🌿 The new service will let you present two brown bins each week. 📣 All households will still be able to present one brown bin, or two reusable bags, for free every week.

Did you know that you can recycle juice and food cartons at the kerbside? After use, simply rinse & squash and pop them in your white bag or clear sack - super! 🤩 Check out our recycling A-Z for more info medway.gov.uk/directory/11/a… #MedwayRecycles ♻

❓Why do we ask you to squash plastic bottles? Bottles are cylindrical, they roll on the sorting conveyer belt, making it difficult for the sorting machine to recognise. Squashing bottles stops them rolling, and helps you to fit more in your recycling bag 😀♻️👍 #MedwayRecycles

There are no changes to any recycling or waste collections this bank holiday (Monday 26 May). Please present your recycling, brown bins and black sacks by 7am on your regular collection day. #MedwayRecycles ♻
