Non-recyclable waste
Use your grey non-recyclable waste bin for waste that cannot be recycled.
This bin must not be used for:
- heavy items such as soil and rubble as it is a potential safety risk
- hot ashes or corrosive substances, always put cold ashes in a bag before putting them in the bin
- items with batteries such as vapes - find out how to dispose this
- glass - find out how to dispose this
If we consider the bin to be overloaded, it will not be emptied, a sticker will be placed on the lid with instructions.
Further information
If you are unsure which bin to put an item in, please contact recycle@highland.gov.uk or you can search for items on RecycleNow for information on how and where to dispose of it.
