COLLECTION OF RECYCLING AT YOUR DOOR - Starts Monday 3 July

Collection of packaging recycling at your door in Tala will start on Monday 3 July.   Could you please leave the items for recycling alongside where you would normally leave your household refuse [ie alongside, not in, your bin house if you have one, or alongside the large refuse bin if you are in a complex] by 7.30am.   Thereafter collections will be weekly, every Monday.

A leaflet and a clear bag for the first collection will be delivered to your house/mail box at your house before 3rd July.  Please note that after the first collection, you are asked to ensure that bags [or for cardboard/paper tied into bundles, or all placed in a cardboard box]  as shown below are used.

Plastics, metals and tetra pak type containers should please be washed out.

1  PMD [plastics, metals and tetra pak type containers] should be left in the clear bag.

2  Cardboard and paper should be placed in a semi-transparent black/brown bag, or tied into bundles with string, or all placed in a cardboard box. [Please try to ensure that nothing is likely to fly away in the wind!]

If you use bins to collate your recycling materials, you can leave the bags in these receptacles outside your house.  The bags will be removed and the receptacles will be left for you - however, there have been instances of these disappearing due to theft, so it is recommended that you do not leave such receptacles on the street!


Replacement bags can be purchased at the supermarkets.  These state that they are for recycling materials and show PMD on the clear bags, and Paper on the semi-transparent brown/black bags.

Please bear in mind that you can still collect cans separately if you wish to help Cans for Kids - with collection points at the Kamares Club and UKCA Club.

Re glass, the recycling bins for glass will remain in situ and there will NOT be a collection at your door for bottles/glass.   As a reminder, there are bottle banks at the following sites:

1 Ayios Neofytous Avenue near to the Monastery
2 Mary Leptos Street/Koralion St junction
