Falkirk Council is pleased to introduce a new kerbside recycling service for glass bottles and jars, small electrical items, batteries and textiles.
A black box will be provided for the glass bottles and jars, small electrical items and the batteries and two clear sacks will be provided for textiles.
The box will be sorted at the kerbside by the collection crew and the textile sacks will be collected and replaced with an empty sack. The box and sack will be collected on the same day as your blue bin. This service will be rolled out across the district from July 2009.
