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.

Glass is collected every month along with paper, cans and plastic bottles. You should put your glass into a separate wheeled glass bin, which should be left outside your house for collection. There are no additional recycling points for glass in Trinity.
