Disposal of face coverings and personal protective equipment (PPE)

Please put face masks and disposable gloves in the normal waste at home for disposal in your grey bin.

Do not put them in a beige or burgundy recycling bin as they cannot be recycled through conventional recycling facilities.

Thank you - in 2019/20 48% of waste collected in Bolton was recycled. Between April and September 2020 we recycled 50.1%. Keep up the good work!
