You can avoid unnecessary dustbin waste going into expensive landfill sites by recycling your paper, cardboard,
glass bottles, cans, etc., at one of the following centres:
- Kenley station car park - cans, clothing, paper and shoes with reduced facilities for bottles &
jars.
- Old Lodge Lane opposite Wattenden School - one small container each for bottles & jars, cans and
paper.
- There are other recycling centres just outside our area; the most important is that at Tesco's which
has facilities for bottles, cans, clothing, paper, printer cartridges and shoes.
- The Purley Oaks civic amenity site in the Brighton Road is open 7 days a week 8.00am to 3:30pm for cars
only. The site takes most recyclable items including batteries, bottles, cardboard, clothing, computer
equipment, garden waste, hardcore, metal, oil, paper, some plastics, printer cartridges, shoes, tins
and reusable wood such as Chritmas trees when in season. There is also one container for non-recyclable
home waste.
The council collects household waste weekly. Garden waste is collected bi-weekly in clear plastic bags, maximum two
bags per household. Additionally also bi-weekly, cans, glass and plastics are collected in a green crate, and
newswspapers and cardboard in a blue crate. Both the clear plastic bags and the crates are provided by the
Council free of charge.
