Recycling in Suffolk
East Suffolk residents are great at recycling and we want to help you to recycle as much as possible - whether through your recycling bin at home, your nearest Suffolk Recycling Centre or a local bring bank.

Better Recycling
From 2026, East Suffolk Council will supply all households with an additional wheelie bin or other container to separate paper and card from plastics, metal, cartons (including Tetra Pak) and glass bottles or jars. This will be in addition to a brand-new weekly food waste collection service. This extra collection service will also allow the Council to adopt a three-weekly waste collection service, rather than the current fortnightly arrangement, without a reduction in the overall combined capacity of household bins.
