In Stoke-on-Trent, the grey bin is designated for general waste. You can put the following items in your grey bin:
| Accepted Items | Not Accepted Items |
|---|---|
| Domestic waste (bagged) | Organic waste (food scraps, garden waste, etc.) |
| Non-recyclable plastic | Glass bottles and jars |
| Polystyrene | Metal items not part of recycling bins |
| Certain textiles | Any hazardous waste (chemicals, batteries, etc.) |
Keep in mind that organic waste should not be placed in the grey bin as it is considered contamination. This affects waste processing, so it's separated for recycling purposes. If you need to clarify what goes where, you can check the detailed guidelines on the Stoke council website. You can also report any contamination issues or ask for assistance regarding your waste management.
