What do I do with matches/matchsticks?

Used matchsticks or matches cannot be recycled.

You can dispose of used matchsticks or matches using the appropriate container for your recycling and waste collections service or at a Recycling and Waste Park:

Trolibocs service

Bag service

Communal bin service

Guidance

Please make sure that matchsticks or matches are fully extinguished and cooled down and put them in your waste container.
