Recycling Thousands of homes to switch from boxes to sacks
Bristol Post
|October 01, 2025
THOUSANDS of Bristol residents will be given recycling sacks to put their rubbish in instead of separating it into boxes.
About 8,000 homes along main roads and in the city centre will be given an orange sack, which all dry recycling should be thrown into.
The changes planned by Bristol City Council will affect homes like flats above a shop, where there is little space on busy pavements to store recycling boxes.
Bin bosses have looked at best practice on red routes in many parts of London, in a bid to clean up shopping streets.
The changes will happen independently of the proposed switch to a three-weekly collection for black bins, with a decision on that change due to be made this December.
