Most areas recycle plastics type 1 and 2 and some areas take other types as well. See the plastic identification code to find out what types you've got.
Chemicals and used oil
Contact your local council to find out what services are available in your area for disposing of unwanted chemicals or used oil.
Make sure the right materials go in the right recycling bin
Look on the recycling bin to see what should go in it. There may be separate bins for different coloured glass or for different plastic types.
