In Kings Lynn, your green recycling bin is designated for a variety of recyclables, which should be clean, dry, and loose (not in plastic bags). Here’s a quick reference for what you can include in your green bin:
| Acceptable Items |
|---|
| Newspapers, magazines, and telephone directories |
| Paper and clean cardboard |
| Plastic bottles (like drinks, detergent, and milk) |
| Steel and aluminium food and drink cans |
| Empty aerosols |
| Glass bottles and jars (leave tops on) |
| Plastic food pots, tubs, and trays |
| Waxed cartons and Tetra Paks |
| Foil and foil trays |
| Shredded paper, envelopes (including window types) |
| Greetings cards and junk mail |
| Wrapping paper |
Please make sure to rinse food residue from these items before recycling to improve the quality of the recyclables. If you’d like to learn more or check specific items, visit the recycling A to Z on the council's website.
