Flats and Properties with Communal Collections

To keep the use of landfill sites to a minimum and to keep a clean and green environment, we encourage you to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible.

TOR2 has increased the range of recyclable items collected as part of the communal recycling scheme, helping residents to recycle up to 85% of their waste.
