This map shows the recycling points in Cambridge. Full information about what can be recycled at each point is listed below the map.
There are also household recycling centres (‘tips’) at Milton and Thriplow.
The recycling point at Abbey Road was closed in January, because of repeated misuse and flytipping. Some bins have been removed from the recycling points on Church Street, Lammas Land and Stretten Avenue for the same reason.
