Recycling points

Recycling points are areas in your local community that have large recycling containers. They make it easier for you to recycle smaller items such as glass, cans and textiles without visiting your nearest household waste and recycling centre.

With over 260 points across Fife, you will find them in local car parks at various:

  • supermarkets
  • community centres
  • libraries

Most recycling points are located in open car parks and are accessible 24 hours a day.

Recycling points have containers for each material, but not all points accepts every type. Use our recycling facilities map to find your nearest recycling point or recycling centre.


Things you can take to a recycling point

You can recycle some, if not all, of the following:

  • food and drinks cans
  • mixed glass bottles and jars
  • paper and cardboard
  • plastic packaging

Ensure your recycling is separated into the correct containers for collection.

There may be some occasions where 'cans and plastics, and paper and cardboard' containers are collected by the same vehicle. If this does happen, all recycling is separated by a re-processor at a recycling facility.

Recycling textiles and clothing

Textile and clothing recycling banks are located at many recycling points in Fife.
