Rubbish and waste information from 'Greensweep'

'Greensweep' is North Devon Council’s drive to increase the amount of rubbish that gets recycled.

New food waste recycling service

A new food waste recycling service starts in some areas of North Devon from Monday 18 May. The aim is to compost the food waste instead of sending it to landfill.

Greensweep waste management

Wheelie bins

Our wheelie bin scheme involves giving people two bins, one green and one black. The green one is for garden waste and cardboard and your black bin is for disposable waste.

Green boxes and bags

The green plastic box is for all your ‘dry’ recyclable such as plastic bottles, tin cans and glass jars. The green bag is for old newspapers, clothes and catalogues you no longer want.

Recycling pavilions

The recycling pavilions dotted around North Devon are no longer in service, due to the fact that we now offer a collection to everyone in the district. Bottle and paper banks are still available in some areas.
