As well as home recycling bins, there are many recycling banks across the UK that can be used to recycle different materials.
They are located on streets across the UK as well as in supermarkets and outside housing estates.
Most recycling banks are emptied on a regular basis. However, if you do come across one that is over-flowing, contact your local council who will arrange for the bank to be emptied. You can also contact your local council to report vandalism to the recycle banks.
To find out where your local recycling bank is or if you want to know which materials can be recycled where, check the recycling point search here.
