Recycle food and drinks cartons
Find out how to get your cartons and Tetra Paks ready for recycling, and where to take them.
Do not put cartons in your recycling bin at home or your communal and shared bins. You must recycle them separately.
If you put the wrong things in your recycling it can spoil the rest of the good recycling you're doing.
Cartons and Tetra Paks you can recycle at our carton recycling points include:
- milk and alternative milk cartons with caps
- fruit juice with caps and straws
- crisp tubes (without lids)
- dough or pastry cardboard containers with metal ends
- soup, tomatoes and other food cartons
- other paper containers with metal ends such as gravy (without lids)
All cartons must be empty, washed and squashed before you take them to a recycling point.
