How should I sort my recycling?

At Enclave, recycling is sorted using the bins provided in your building’s bin store. Clear signage helps you separate items correctly, but here are the general guidelines:

Mixed recycling

• Place clean paper, cardboard, plastics, glass, and metals together if your building uses mixed recycling bins.

• Rinse containers before recycling to avoid contamination.

Food waste (if available)

• Use the dedicated food waste caddy or bin, lined with compostable bags if required.

• Do not mix food waste with general rubbish or dry recycling.

General waste

• Anything that cannot be recycled (like plastic bags, polystyrene, or nappies) should go into the general waste bins.

Special items

• Batteries, electronics, and hazardous items must never go in recycling bins — these require special disposal (see your building guidance).

Helpful tip

Always follow the signs in your bin store, as rules can differ depending on your local council.
