PLEASE NOTE
Many plastic containers such as yoghurt pots and meat trays are marked with the recycling symbol. This does not mean that you can place them in the green bin. Only plastic bottles are suitable for recycling in this bin irrespective of any symbols. Shredded paper cannot be accepted in the green bin as it blocks the mechanism that separates the different materials at the recycling facility. Shredded paper can be composted in a home composter or small amounts can be disposed of in your brown bin. All materials should be put loose into the green bin as plastic bags cannot be recycled and therefore cause the bin to be marked as contaminated.

Operational Instructions
Wheeled bin collections begin at 7am. Bins should be presented at the kerbside or edge of the road with lids closed and handles out. A back door collection can be arranged for households unable to put their bin out for collection due to illness, incapacity, mobility issues etc. Normally only one 240L landll bin will be collected per household. Additional disposal capacity will be provided by the Council for households with six or more permanent residents or households with a medical condition that causes extra waste to be generated. No additional bags will be collected. All waste must be placed inside the bin with the lid properly closed. It is every householders responsibility to ensure they have a landll bin. For information on obtaining green or brown bins or caddies, please contact the Waste Management team on 028 9250 9453. Lisburn City Council also runs an amenity collection for householders wishing to dispose of larger items such as furniture and white goods. For more information contact 028 9267 3417.
