Recycling - sites
There are currently over 40 recycling sites around Tonbridge and Malling for the collection and recycling of a number of different recyclable materials. You can recycle newspaper and magazines, plastic bottles, glass bottles and jars, cans, textiles, shoes and even CDs and books. The sites vary in size and the types of material that can be collected for recycling.
The usage of many of our recycling sites has fallen as expected since the introduction of additional kerbside recycling collections, therefore we will be reducing the number of sites to 10 strategic locations across the borough, these being:
