A-Z Recycling Guide - h
We understand it can be a little confusing knowing which items can or cannot be recycled, what you should do with them or which bin to use. To help make things easier, we’ve put together an A-Z guide for residents that provides guidance on what to do when disposing of items.
Recycling if you live in a flat or tenement
Bring Sites have been provided to make it easier for residents living in flats and tenements in

Centres. However, they are sited in locations throughout Dundee.
