Rotherham’s black recycling bin is for cans, glass and plastic packaging only, so anything outside those materials shouldn’t go in it. That means general household waste and paper/card belong in the other bins instead.
| Not allowed in the black recycling bin | Goes in |
|---|---|
| General household waste | Pink lid bin |
| Paper and card | Green bin |
If you’re sorting something plastic, it needs to be packaging rather than a non-packaging plastic item.
