Runnymede Borough Council introduced a kerbside recycling service throughout the majority of properties in the Borough during February and March 2003. The Council entered into a contract with a company to collect the following items from the edge of properties in the Runnymede area.

Find out when your Recycling day is

Newspapers and magazines (Blue Bag)

All drink and food cans (Blue Box)

Glass Jars and Bottles (Blue Box)

Aluminium Foil (Blue Box)

Textiles (Black Bag)

By saving / collecting your recycling it will help the environment and greatly reduce the amount of rubbish sent to landfill sites. Our target is to recycle 20% of all household waste by March 2010.

The box and bags delivered are emptied on a WEEKLY basis. Please put your recyclables out at the front boundary of your property by 6.30am on your collection day.

We really hope you will support this scheme by putting your box and bag out every week for collection.

We hope the service will continue to be successful and we would be pleased to hear from you if you have any questions or require further information. Call the Runnymede Recycling Hotline on freephone; 0800 052 0067.
