Please use Runnymede Borough Council's bottle banks as 50% of all of the income from the scheme goes to help local charities and voluntary groups.

PLEASE REMEMBER!!!!

Our paper banks will now take telephone directories with WHITE pages.

Please keep coloured glass out of the clear glass as this reduces its quality.

Blue glass can go in with green glass.

If the green bottle bangs are full, please put your green bottles in the BROWN bottle bank.

Pyrex, vision-ware, drinking glasses and window glass should not be put in, as they spoil the quality of the glass cullets and therefore cannot be recycled.

Please clean cans and jars so that they don't attract flies and wasps.

Please remove caps and corks from bottles before recycling.

Cans, should be squashed to take up less room in the banks.

Remove caps from plastic bottles before recycling and place them in the bottle cap recycling bin.
