Recycling advice

To find out when your bin collection will take place, enter your address into our bin collection calendar.

For advice on what household waste to put into which bin, please view our which bin to use guide.

South Derbyshire District Council is working with Podback, the pod recycling service, to enable residents to recycle plastic and aluminium coffee pods. 

Used pods can be recycled at drop-off points at the household waste recycling centre (tip) in Swadlincote. Just save your pods in any bag or container (but please keep aluminium and plastic pods separate).  Then tip them loose into the relevant Podback container at the tip. You can also drop off your pods and local supermarkets.

Visit Podback for more information and to order your free drop-off recycling bags.

Last year we recycled 49% of household waste and we can achieve even more with your help.

Why not share your recycling stories? Send us your recycling pictures and videos through Facebook or Twitter using #recyclingchamps.
