Recycling points are areas in your local community that have large recycling containers for each material, but not all points accepts every type. 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.

Finding your nearest recycling point

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

• supermarkets
• community centres

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

Use our recycling search to find the nearest recycling point.

More information on accepted materials at each recycling point can be found within our recycling points map.

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.
