Rubbish and Recycling Information

Thanks to you we are now recycling 35% of household waste; however our target is 40% so we all need to keep recycling for Reading.

Reduce, Reuse, Recycle

Reduce: to produce less or make smaller

Reuse: to use something again

Recycle: to collect and treat rubbish and turn it into useful materials which can be used again

Use the search facility below to find out which bin will be collected and when. To find out what should go in your bins follow the links at the bottom of this page.

If severe weather disrupts the service, we aim to resume collections as soon as possible and will keep you advised via our website, Twitter and local press.
