What can I recycle?
In most neighbourhoods, Tower Hamlets Council provides residents with clear bags or purple recycling bins in which to recycle waste. Please think about what can be recycled. Food waste, nappies, clothes, and garden waste can not be recycled using the purple bins or clear bags.
Never put recycling in black sacks as it will be classed as rubbish and won’t be recycled.
Clear sacks for recycling can be collected from Idea Stores or Libraries. If you have access to a purple bin recycling in clear sacks and untied carrier bags can be placed in the bin or you can use a reusable bag and empty items into the bin loose
If you have any questions about recycling or would like to order more bags and bins, get in touch with the Council’s recycling team.
