Recycling collection days
Your recycling is collected every fortnight on the same day as your refuse collection. Search for your road name below to show your collection days.
What can I recycle?
The Parish operates a kerbside recycling scheme. All recyclables are to be split into two bags:
- Blue bags are for light card, paper, magazines and envelopes
- Clear bags are for steel tins, aluminium cans and plastic bottles
What can/ cannot be put in each coloured bag is displayed on the side of the bag.
To find out how you can recycle items that are not included in the kerbside collection please click here. All other waste should be put into your regular refuse bin or taken to the dump at La Collette. We do not collect green waste.
Contamination
Please ensure that only items displayed on the side of the recycling bag as recyclable are placed in each bag. Bags that have been obviously contaminated cannot be collected. If you have a contaminated bag, this will need to go in your normal refuse bin.
To guarantee cardboard is collected, please flatten boxes and put them inside a blue recycling bag. Please ensure no food waste goes in either recycling bag.
Glass
The Parish operates various public bring sites throughout St Helier where residents can bring glass for recycling. To view the full list of bring sites please click here.
The Parish also offers a paid for glass collection service for commercial and residential sites (Monday to Friday only) with a minimum collection of one per month. The below prices are based on per bin per collection:
| Bin Size | Cost |
| 240 litre | £17.71 inc. GST |
| 600 litre | £21.26 inc. GST |
| 1100 litre | £21.26 inc. GST |
A one-off collection is also available for £35.43 inc. GST. This is priced per collection rather than per bin. 24 hours written notice is required for any glass collection.
A Glass Contract and Service Level Agreement are required to run on an annual basis from 1 November to 31 October each year. These are rolling contracts, and one month’s notice is required for cancellation or amendments.
To arrange for a glass collection please email [email protected] or call 01534 811708.

If your recycle bag is seriously contaminated with the wrong materials, we will be unable to collect it. This is because it will contaminate the rest of the load. We will leave your bag at the property and send you a non-compliance notice reminding you of what should go in each bag. If your bag has been contaminated, then it should be placed in with your regular refuse. You must not use your recycling bags for any purpose other than Parish recycling.
