Recycling Waste
Why recycle and compost your waste?
Recycling and composting waste is an important part of reducing
your household's impact on the environment. Bedfordshire is running
out of landfill sites and government targets are encouraging all of
us to play our part in reducing and recycling waste.
Bedford Borough Council encourages residents to recycle
at least 75% of this rubbish via the orange recycling scheme for
recyclable materials (paper, cardboard, and cartons, all
plastic food packaging, metal packaging and worn out textiles) and
a green waste scheme for garden waste.
The Council also provides a network of Mini Recycling Sites for
recycling materials such as glass, paper, textiles and shoes. For
information on where your nearest site is please download the
list below.
