Our council is committed to recycling as much of our borough's waste as possible and we provide free recycling collections for residents. We encourage everyone to recycle more of the right things and help make Hillingdon a green and sustainable borough.
In Hillingdon, you can recycle paper, cardboard, glass and plastics every week for free - and it all goes in the same clear (dry mixed) recycling bag.
Watch our 'Top of the Pops' style chart countdown, exposing the top 5 contaminating items most commonly found in residents' dry mixed recycling bags.
Order recycling bags
We've relaunched our automatic recycling bag delivery scheme. If you'd like to sign up for automatic deliveries of recycling bags, register using our online form and we'll deliver recycling bags to your doorstep.
Important: If you currently have recycling bags delivered, you'll need to re-register your account.
Orders can be made for households (residential properties) only.
You cannot place another order if your last order was within the last 7 days.
If it has been more than 10 days since you ordered a roll of recycling bags and you have not received them yet, you can query undelivered recycling bags
