Waste Aware South Lanarkshire - kerbside Recycling scheme.

The South Lanarkshire kerbside recycling scheme began on the 13th October 2003. A blue bin has been provided to 65,000 households across Hamilton, East Kilbride, Bothwell, Uddingston and Cambuslang for the collection of cans, cardboard, paper and plastic bottles. This scheme will continue to roll out across South Lanarkshire.

What is and what isn't allowed in your blue recycling bin

The following items are allowed in your blue recycling bin:

Cans - aluminium & steel
Cardboard - all types that have not been in contact with food
Paper - newspapers, junk mail, magazines, telephone books (no Yellow Pages)
Plastic bottles - plastic soft drinks & water bottles
milk bottles

Please do not put place materials in plastic bags or place additional bags next to your Blue bin.
Please wash and squash your cans and plastic bottles before placing them into your Blue recycling bin.

It is important that only the correct recyclates go into your Blue recycling bin as this makes the sorting process easier.
