We're making some changes to help make recycling easier for residents. 

Many residents have told us about the difficulty they have in collecting recycling sacks from our outlets. If you can't get to one of our outlets you can order your sacks online and we'll deliver them within the next 10 working days. Sacks will still be available at the outlets whilst stocks last and we will still deliver one roll of sacks to each property annually between April and June. 

 

You may have also noticed that the sacks have changed from pink to clear. This is because a large number of sacks contain items which cannot be recycled and should not be in there like glass, food waste and dirty nappies which are easier to spot in clear sacks. You can still use any pink recycling sacks you have left for household recycling, but we will only be supplying the clear sacks online and through our stockists from now on. 

 

The annual delivery of recycling sacks for 2018 was completed on Saturday 2 June 2018. 

 

A schedule for the 2019 delivery will be available towards the end of March 2019. 

 

If you have run out of recycling sacks you can collect additional supplies from one of our Recycling Sack Outlets whilst stocks last or by filling in the online form at www.milton-keynes.gov.uk/report-it-waste.
