How to Recycle
When’s my collection?
Our dedicated recycling team will collect curbside recycling twice monthly; please make sure your rubbish and recycling are out before 6 a.m. on the day of your collection.
Your Parish recycling collection
Our service encompasses the collection of various recyclable materials, including paper, cardboard, plastic bottles, and household metal packaging.
 The Parish provides householders with two recycling bags, a clear and blue bag.
Recycling bags can be collected from the Parish Hall during opening hours (Mon – Fri 8:45 am – 3:45 pm)
We understand that these collection times may not be convenient for all residents. In such cases, please contact our customer services team at 735864 or [email protected] and provide either your ratepayer reference number or name and residential address. Our dedicated waste and recycling teams will then arrange for bags to be delivered directly to your property.
Please put your recycling bags out the night before your collection day, as our recycling team start collections early.
If you want to recycle between collections, please bring your recycling bags to the Recycling Centre at the Parish Depot in Rue de Pres trading estate.
More information on what you can and cannot recycle can be found in the next section.

Shredded paper: We do not collect shredded paper but it can be taken to Abbey Waste in Rue de Pres trading estate for recycling.
Scrunch test: If you are unsure if wrapping paper or a food wrapper can be recycled, do the scrunch test: Scrunch the wrapper in your hand – if it springs back open put it in your rubbish bin as we cannot recycle it.
If you are unsure if something can be recycled, please leave it out and contact us.
Where does our recycling go?
Your recycling is delivered to Abbey Waste, a company based in the parish that provides recycling services. Abbey Waste receives and exports recycling for the Government of Jersey, so you can be confident that all of the parishâs recycling will be recycled.
Paper and cardboard are sent to a recycler in the UK. They are used to make recycled card products, such as packaging and the covers for hard-back books.
Bottles are sent to a UK recycling plant where they are cut into small pieces and melted down to create recycled plastic. They will be used to make a range of products made from recycled plastic such as garden furniture and PVC window frames.
Household metal packaging such as food and drink cans are sent to a recycler where they are separated into aluminium and steel. The metals are sent to the UK to be melted down and processed to create new cans and other metal goods.
The Parish recycling bags are made from recycled material and are also recyclable. We can only recycle the bags if they are clean so please make sure the items you recycle are clean and empty.
Recycling Centres
There are a number of mini recycling centres or âbring banksâ in the parish and around the island. Details can be found here:
