What can be Recycled

Antrim & Newtownabbey Borough Council, in partnership with Bryson Recycling, provides a kerbside recycling service to make it easy for you to recycle from home.

COVID-19 COLLECTION MEASURES

To reduce the risk of spreading the COVID-19 virus, we are reducing the direct handling of materials by staff.

To achieve this we introduced new collection measures in April 2020.

Please sort your materials as described.
If materials are not sorted in this way, containers will not be emptied.
Sorry but we can't collect shredded paper, batteries, textiles or hand tools at this time.
Overflow bags will not be accepted.
Ensure all items are clean and dry, and don’t contain any food or drink residue.
Save space by flattening cans, cartons, plastics and cardboard.

Thank you for your co-operation at this time.
