Recycling in Sutton - an overview

Recycling collections from home

Sutton collects recyclables from your home on a weekly basis. Residents are provided with a free green wheeled bin, which is collected fortnightly. You can recycle paper, card, cans and plastic bottles. Residents who live in areas where wheeled bins are impractical can use clear sacks for their recyclables.
