Items that can no longer be put in your recycling bin include aerosol cans, plastic bags, cling wrap, polystyrene and other ‘scrunch-able’ items like cereal bags. Materials that can still go in your recycling bin include cardboard, glass, paper, hard plastic containers, aluminium cans and steel cans.
