Glass and textiles should be taken to your nearest recycling station (details from the Town Council Offices). Green Garden Bags should be left out alternative weeks to the black recycling boxes. Replacement Green Bags can be obtained from the Town Council Offices, and additional Green bags can also be purchased, to a maximum of 3 extra per household
