Clear sacks
The clear sack delivery service is still running. You'll receive a roll of clear recycling sacks at your door every 13 weeks.
If you have reusable blue and white bags, please continue to use these - washing and squashing the contents to make full use of their capacity.
If you've run out of Medway Council clear sacks and do not have reusable bags, you can use cardboard boxes for your paper and card, or shop-bought transparent bags.
To help collection crews easily identify refuse and recycling make sure refuse and recycling are placed out separately from each other.
If you have a roll of clear sacks that you no longer need, give them to neighbours, family or friends for their recycling.
Reusable recycling bags
Reusable bags are the most environmentally-friendly option and can help reduce single use plastic.
Using the blue reusable bag for paper and the white reusable bag for other recycling will help you reduce global warming and save money.
When ordering blue and white bags online, make sure that you choose the reusable bags option.
If your blue or white reusable bag breaks, put it in a clear recycling sack and we will collect it with your normal bin collection.
Collecting recycling bin bags
You can collect the following from your local community hubs and libraries:
- clear sacks
- reusable bags.
