FAQ for Door-to-Door Recycling | Contact for Door-to-Door Recycling

Recycling from home is easy, convenient and will help make a big difference to the environment. A recycling service is provided for each house in Redbridge (a separate service is available for residents in flats).

All households receive a weekly multi-material collection service.

How does the service work?

Its as easy as 1, 2, 3…Recycling green boxes

1. Please fill your box with the items listed below.

2. Put the box in front of and at the edge of your property boundary by 7.00am on the collection day (clearly visible from the road).

3. The box will be emptied and returned to you.

Please try to keep paper separate from other materials, either at one end of the box, in a re-usable or carrier bag, or in a separate recycling box. This is because paper is collected separately in the recycling vehicle.

How do I get a recycling box?

You can order a recycling box, or extra boxes, by completing the online form or by contacting the Customer Contact Centre.
