St Lawrence recycling facilities

Changes to recycling services due to coronavirus

The Household Reuse and Recycling Centre, Household Green Waste Reception and the Island wide network of bring banks (mini recycling centres) are open. Visit the site information pages for more details, including reduced opening times.

Household recycling collection

You should put your glass into a separate glass bin which should be left outside your house for monthly collection along with paper, cardboard, cans and plastic bottles. There are no additional recycling points for glass in St Lawrence.

St Lawrence runs a household recycling collection scheme which collects the following materials on a monthly basis.
