Recycling - in flats

Mini Recycling Centres

Mini Recycling Centres (MRCs) are usually placed at the bottom of blocks of flats or in households not suitable for the black box scheme. 

They are made up of 6 large wheelie bins that take the following:

• Glass bottles and jars (rinse out and place the lids with your cans)
• Newspapers and magazines (including catalogues, junkmail and leaflets)
• Food and drinks cans (please remove lids and rinse)
• Aluminium foil and containers

There are over 410 Mini Recycling Centres in Bristol which help over 25,269 households to recycle.

If you live in a block of flats and you would like to request a Mini Recycling Centre please complete the form below. Alternatively, you can contact our Customer Services Centre on 0117 922 2100.
