What Goes in my Blue Bin?

The Barna Recycling Blue Bin is for recycling house hold waste. When your Blue Bin is collected by Barna Recycling it is taken our recovery facility where it undergoes a strict process of segregation to separate the materials in preparation for re-use.

Remember …Clean, Dry, Flatten & Squash when possible.
If in doubt, check it out or leave it out.
