Kettering Borough Council

Better, Easier, Greener!

Your new recycling service is coming soon

We are changing our waste and recycling service across the borough. The current system is being replaced with a new, simpler system.

The new service will be easier, greener and cheaper to manage. It will mean less sorting for you as most of your recycling will be placed in the same bin.

So what are the main changes?

You will be receiving a new blue wheelie bin to join your black bin, grey bin and red recycling box.  This new bin will be where you can recycle all your plastics, cardboard, aerosols, glass and many other things. Under each of the recycling containers below you will find out more about what now goes where.


Find further information and frequently asked questions about the new changes.
