Plastic Bags and Wrapping Recycling Local Collections

On this page

We are making changes to the way that plastic bags and wrapping are collected for recycling in your area so that we can all recycle better, together. Find out more about collections in your area below.

What is this pilot?

A new plastic bags and wrapping recycling trial service has been introduced in your local area. A small number of households in selected areas across England will be able to recycle their plastic bags and wrapping from their home.

The trial will be available to a small number of residents at the start, but it will gradually expand to more residents in the selected areas over the next 2-3 years.
