Help us reduce the number of clear plastic sacks used for recycling

Last year £360,000 was spent on purchasing and delivering the plastic sacks we use to collect your dry recycling.

We’re delighted residents are recycling so much, and look forward to seeing recycling increase even more across the district, but we need to ensure that the recycling sacks provided are being used efficiently, minimising both cost and waste.

You can help by doing the following:

• Sacks can be picked up free from across the Epping Forest district
• Please only take 1 roll per visit
• Fill your clear sack with accepted loose household recycling. Your sacks will not be taken if they contain any non-recyclable materials
• Use all the space within the sacks by flatting boxes, squashing tins, cans and plastic bottles. Take the lid off plastic bottles to make sure they stayed squished
• Sacks are only to be used for your recycling collection and not any other purpose

Together we can recycle more, waste less and reduce the amount spent on our recycling sacks.
