Things that do not go in your black/green recycling box:
Large electrical items such as TVs, vacuum cleaners, fridges, cookers, washing machines can be taken to Devon County Council’s recycling centres.
If you prefer, you can arrange for a bulky waste collection, where we will collect your larger item from the kerbside. Please note, there is a charge for this service.
Unfortunately we are unable to accept black plastic in your recycling. Though the plastic may have a recycling symbol, it is not currently possible to effectively sort black plastic from other materials at a recycling facility.
In accordance with guidelines from the Waste and Resources Action Programme (WRAP), we have had to take the decision that we won’t collect black plastic with your recycling. Read more about WRAP’s quest to get retailers to use detectable black colourants in their black plastic products.
