- What to do
-
Drinks containers:
Takeaway and fast-food drinks containers should be placed in your general household waste bin. Most takeaway drinks cups are lined with a waterproof plastic called polyethylene, which makes them non-recyclable through standard household recycling collections.
Examples of drinks containers include:
- McDonalds cups
- Costa Coffee cups
Takeaway and fast-food packaging:
Takeaway and fast-food packaging that is greasy or contaminated with food waste reduces the quality of recyclable materials and makes them harder to process effectively. Please place ALL takeaway and fast-food packaging in your general household waste bin.
Examples of takeaway and fast-food packaging include:
- chip trays
- burger trays and boxes
- parchment paper
- paper bags
