I want to dispose of

Check which materials you can take to Staffordshire’s recycling centres.

Aerosols

Animal bedding

A daily disposal limit of 2 bags (80 litres or equivalent x 2) of animal bedding per household is in place.

Anti-freeze

Disposal (restrictions apply): Chemicals should not be placed in your kerbside collection. A small amount is accepted at Staffordshire's recycling centres and should be placed in the chemical safe. Please ask the site attendant for assistance. A limit of 5 x 2.5 litre (or equivalent volume) every 6 months is permitted.

Baths

Recycle (charges apply): Baths can be taken to any of Staffordshire's recycling centres. There is a charge £3 per bag over two 50L bags, the first two bathroom suite items are free of charge.

Batteries

Reuse: Have you considered reusable batteries instead of disposable?

Bike tyres

Reduce: Careful driving by minimising harsh breaking and accelerating will minimise tyre wear and save you money on fuel too.

Books and magazines

Reduce: Staffordshire's libraries stock the latest titles for loan. Have you considered getting an e-reader, e.g. Kindle or Kobo readers? Our libraries also stock eBooks, eMagazines and eAudiobooks.

Bottle tops

Recycle: Clean cans, aerosols, tins, metal bottle/jar tops, aluminium takeaway containers and tin foil can be recycled in your kerbside recycling or taken to any Staffordshire recycling centre.
