All of the following can be recycled via your blue top bin.

Empty aerosol cans – please fully empty them first before adding to the bin.
Plastic pots, tubs, and trays – please always remove the plastic films on the top (pots go in the blue-lidded recycling bins, plastic film in the general waste bin).
Metal jar lids – put them back on the jar and put this in your black box.
Clean aluminium foil – after use, please give it a quick rinse, scrunch it, and pop it in your blue-lidded bin. Ideally, keep adding foil until it is at least the size of a tennis ball.
