Static collection sites

There are a number of static collection sites around Thanet, generally located in major store and other car parks.  These provide facilities for the collection of glass, paper, cans and textiles.

Please use these sites with respect for other users and nearby residents - follow the 'bank it' code:

Recycling Bank Code

for all recycling sites/banks

• Residents must not leave bags of material on the floor or on top of the banks, this is illegal and increases litter in the area.
  The waste is deemed to be contaminated, it is collected as rubbish and not recycled.
  
• If the bank is full, don't just dump it, report it
  
• Glass separation is important, if the site has three colours please use it correctly
  
• Textiles - please follow contractors instructions on the bank
  
• Cans, please wash and squash all cans, the less room they take up the better
  
• For glass bottles and jars, please remove caps and corks
  
• please be careful.
