This year let's all try to recycle a bit more than we did last year. This refresher for our memories about what actually can go into our council recycling bins. There is a difference between Havant Borough Council and Chichester Borough Council.

HBC will take in your bin empty aerosal cans, dry cardboard, clean food tins, newpaper, plastic bottles with a lid, spray gun bottles.
