Recycling at RTYC

Published 12:25 on 25 Aug 2026

For some years at RTYC we have tried to undertake recycling.

Dundee City Council (DCC) has its own specific rules for this, which visitors and members who live elsewhere may not be aware of.

At our popular and well-used beach clubhouse we try to do some modest recycling using the burgundy & blue bins issued by DCC. Volunteers take our various beach bins across to Ogilvie Rd. We need your help to make the most of this effort.

Here are our recycling rules and related information:

1. DCC does NOT recycle coffee cups, whether made of paper or plastic. All must go in the grey/black bin.

2. The Blue bin is for clean cardboard and paper only. No paper napkins (even if clean) and no paper plates.

3. The Burgundy bin is for empty cans and bottles. No dirty cans or half-empty bottles please.

4. Unfortunately, almost everything else must go in the grey/black bin.

As shown in these photos the beach clubhouse recycling bins have reminders on the lids. If we follow these rules, we can with your help make a useful contribution to recycling in Dundee.
