Order clear or reusable recycling bags (residents)
This page is for recycling bags that are for domestic use only. For commercial waste bags visit our page for information on commercial waste and recycling.
For residents living in mansion blocks, flats, or estates
If you live in large shared housing, it is likely that you are provided with a large communal recycling bin. To help you recycle, we can send you a reusable bag, for you to store your recycling in and carry it to your bin. If you would like a reusable bag, fill in the order form, via the link at the bottom of this page.
Please don't order the clear recycling bags, as you don’t need them.

Order reusable or clear recycling bags
If you find you need more packs of bags with every delivery, or are not regularly receiving your bags, please let us know via streetline (streetline @rbkc.gov.uk or 020 7361 3001) and any reasons why you think that might be the case. For example, if you live in a shared building, your bags may be taken by your neighbours, and so we would need to put your bags in an envelope.
