Aluminium Foil

Aluminium foil can be put in your yellow-lid recycling bin or taken to any Waste and Recycling Centre for free (loads up to 1m3 only).

Please scrunch into a ball (tennis ball size or larger) before placing in your recycling bin to ensure it is recycled properly.

Coloured foil from easter eggs and similar is also recyclable, as long as it is scrunched into a ball (tennis ball size or larger). Hairdressers are also able to recycle foil used in their businesses, even if it contains hair products on them.

Some 'foil like' products such as chip packs and medicine blister packs contain plastic and/or other mixed materials and cannot go into your yellow-lid bin. They must be disposed of into your red-lid landfill bin.
