In Hounslow, you have three recycling boxes for different materials: red, blue, and green. Here's what you can put in each one:
| Recycling Box | Items You Can Put In | Items You Can't Put In |
|---|---|---|
| Red Box | Plastic and metal cans | - Plastic carrier bags <br> - Plastic wrapping and packaging <br> - Batteries |
| Blue Box | Card and paper | - Cardboard larger than 70x70cm <br> - Shredded paper |
| Green Box | Glass bottles and jars | - Other items not specified |
For additional guidance on specific items, Hounslow’s Waste Wizard tool is available to help you determine how to recycle them properly. Always ensure your recycling is clean and properly prepared, as contamination can affect collection. You can check collection days and more details on the Hounslow recycling website.
