Bins and Recycling

Getting a few more everyday items into the right bin can make a real difference. It helps reduce waste and gives more materials a chance at a second life. The good news is that some everyday items you might put in your purple bin can actually go in your blue bin and be recycled. Things like drink cans, egg cartons, cardboard packaging and empty bathroom bottles all belong in your blue bin.

Every can, carton and cardboard box recycled is a small action that adds up to a cleaner, greener Liverpool.
Make every blue bin count.
