You can recycle all types of paper, food and drinks cans and plastic bottles in the orange sacks. Collections are made on the same day as the normal rubbish collection. Orange sacks for your recyclables are delivered free of charge on a quarterly basis.
A roll containing 26 orange bags will still be delivered to each household every 3 months as they are at the moment. Deliveries will be made in January, April, July, and October. This works out at 2 bags per week.
If this is not enough and the bags run out, residents can pick up an extra roll of bags from local libraries, Dagenham Civic Centre, Dagenham One Stop Shop at 90 Stour Road, or Barking Learning Centre, opposite the Town Hall.
Previously visitors have been able to take as many orange bags as they want. Unfortunately this has led to some people taking bags for reasons other than recycling. There have also been people from other boroughs taking the bags.
Replacement bags will still be free but residents will be restricted to one roll per customer, per visit.
There are 12 collection points to pick up orange recycling bags.
