How your Recycling Collection Service Works
Runnymede Borough Council have a weekly Recycling Service for all households within the Borough. It's so easy!!
Residents have a blue box, blue bag, textile bag, black box, kitchen caddy, outside food waste container and a bag for spectacles and batteries. If you are missing any of these please call the Runnymede Recycling Hotline on 0800 052 0067 and we will arrange for them to be delivered to you.
Below is a full list of containers we use to collect your recyclables.
Please view each link to find out more about each container and what it holds. Alternatively you can download the Recycle for Runnymede leaflet.
