Our trade waste recycling service
We offer a comprehensive, reliable recycling collection service within the district.
Mixed recyclables
In the Lancaster and Morecambe area and certain rural locations we offer a mixed recycling service. This includes cardboard, plastic bottles, plastic film and bags, bubble wrap, waste paper, newspaper, magazines, books with covers removed, tins and cans.
All cardboard must be free of contaminants and plastic bottles, tins and cans should be rinsed and emptied.
A full range of Eurobin containers can be offered from 360 litres to 1280 litres. Items placed in the containers should not be bagged, except for shredded paper.
For smaller businesses and those with less space, recycling labels can be used for cardboard, and clear recycling sacks for mxied recyclables.
If using labels for cardboard, they should be attached to a cardboard box with flat packed cardboard inside. They should be no heavier than 9kg. Cages that are owned by business (not provided by the council) should be flat packed with cardboard.
Office waste paper
Collection is available in all areas.
Green recycling waste paper sacks are available for the collection of white and brown envelopes (remove sticky labels), office and computer paper, newspaper, magazines and books with covers removed. Please do not include carbon paper or any form of plastic covering. It is important that the sacks are always securely tied and are no heavier than 9kg.
Glass bottles and jars
We can offer a full range of Eurobin containers from 360 litre up to 1100 litre. They can be filled with glass bottles and jars. Please ensure lids and straws are removed and that the bottles and jars are rinsed and empty.
This service is currently only available in Lancaster outside the pedestrianised area.
Eurobin features and benefits
A Eurobin container means that rubbish does not need to be left on the floor. This creates a better impression for your customers and allows you to fulfill your duty of care obligations.
Most containers have a close fitting hinged lid that can be securely locked to keep smells in and vermin out.
Containers are easy to manoeuvre and load by hand, with a low loading height.
Containers are fitted with a drainage plug for ease of cleaning.
