What goes where?

Never has it been so important to try and do our bit to recycle as much as possible. Teignbridge District Council are responsible for collection of household waste. Find out when your bins will be collected and what you can put in them.

There will still be some items that can’t be recycled in the household waste collection recycling boxes but there are several places within the village that have facilities for recycling them:

The Stowey Arms: Clothes in the Planet Aid bin.

Coffee on the Corner: Bread bags, clear fruit and vegetable bags and crisp packets only. In GREY bin in corner of the patio.

Methodist Church: Community food larder outside the Church.

The Swan’s Nest: Clothes in the Planet Aid bin.

If you have any ideas, suggestions, or better still, want to get involved, please email us.

A Google Map has been embedded on this page and is a 3rd party provided service and may not be fully accessible. If you require further help with getting location information please contact us.

Recycling further afield

There are many other items that can be recycled, from water filters to vegetable oil, within a few miles of the village.

If you are aware of any other recycling options, or changes, please contact us so that we can keep the list as up-to-date as possible.
