Items should be loose (NO PLASTIC BAGS) and if possible rinsed.
Plastic: Bottles and Lids (separately), margarine and ice-cream containers (up to 5 litres in capacity), and flower pots (clean). Look for the recycling symbol.
Steel: Food/drink cans and aerosol cans.
Cardboard: Cereal boxes, pizza boxes (empty), boxes and egg cartons.
Glass: Bottles and jars (remove lids).
Aluminium: Cans, clean foil and foil trays.
