ALUMINIUM as clean as possible. This all goes in the wheelie bins marked Aluminium and raises money for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance.

To check whether something is aluminium - if a magnet will not stick to it it's likely to be. The magnet will stick to most food tins e.g. baked beans, which means they are steel and can't go in.Including:

Drinks cans - fizzy soft drinks/beer etc (these can go in your Winchester City Council recycling bin but by putting them in our bin you will be raising money for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance). Please crush them, if you’re able to, as this means our bins don’t need emptying as often. It also makes them easier to transport and process.

Foil - Kitchen foil, food/takeaway containers and trays, pet food trays, sweet/chocolate wrappers

Screw lids - from wine bottles, squash bottle tops (not metal jar lids as these are steel)

Peel off lids - e.g. cream cheese, noodle pots, yoghurts

Coffee capsules - these need to be emptied of coffee grounds first (if you have lots of these please bag separately and place in bin)

Wires/Cables - Charging cables, electrical cables (plugs can be left on and recycled too)

Fairy Lights

Aerosol Cans - but please do the magnet check because not all of these are aluminium. If the magnet doesn't stick it is probably alluminium. Please remove as much plastic as possible.

If you have bigger items like rotary washing lines, saucepans, window frames please message to arrange drop off. We can also take copper and bronze items by arrangement.
