♻️ Red bag ‘drop and swap’ events

North Somerset Council is aware that the red recycling bags have not lasted as well as expected. A programme to replace all damaged and faded red bags is underway and is expected to continue until spring 2027.

If your red recycling bag is damaged and unusable, you can bring it along to one of the following ‘drop and swap’ events organised by North Somerset Council and collect a replacement free of charge:

Tuesday 18 August from 10am to 12 noon at Scotch Horn Leisure Centre, Nailsea

Thursday 20 August from 10am to 12 noon at The Campus, Weston-super-Mare.

Monday 24 August from 2pm to 4pm at the Lakegrounds, Portishead.

 

Please note: These events are for unusable bags only (one bag per property). If your bag is simply faded, please wait for North Somerset Council’s replacement programme to reach your area.
