Recycle right this Christmas

Feed your brown bin with: 

• Unavoidable food waste that cannot be safely stored for another day 
• Napkins and kitchen roll that have been used to catch crumbs or mop up spills
• Festive plants and flowers that are past their best 

Fill your recycling bin or boxes with: 

• Plastic bottles, pots, tubs and trays from your drinks and  nibbles - don’t forget your empty sweet tubs!
• Foil cases from those tasty mince pies
• Tins, cans and aerosols like empty hairspray and deodorants
• Card and cardboard boxes from all those deliveries (remember to remove any plastic and polystyrene first)
• Plain Christmas cards – remove any glitter, foil or  embellishments
• Food and juice cartons 

Don’t forget that wrapping paper CANNOT be recycled and MUST go into the landfill bin. 

Christmas often means gifts with batteries. Make sure you dispose of old single-use batteries safely at the Household Recycling Centre.  

Never put them in your bin as they can cause fires!
