“It’s better in the bank” is a campaign to raise awareness that glass cannot go in the recycling bin.

Suffolk has a well established network of local community bottle banks for recycling glass and it is recycled direct from the bank. It cannot be sorted by our materials recycling facilities. Please check out your nearest bank at Find your nearest.

Meanwhile, homes in the Babergh and Mid Suffolk area will experience collections a day later than usual for the rest of the week following the Bank Holiday.

This means, if bins are collected on Tuesday, August 30, then they will be instead emptied Wednesday, August 31.
