Recycling at Christmas
What can go into my green recycling box?
Recycling teams are unable to take bin bags/carrier bags filled with wrapping paper. Please ensure recyclable wrapping paper is contained within your recycling box.
Please remove any tape, bows and ribbons from wrapping paper.
Synthetic, foil or glittery paper cannot be recycled and should not be placed in your recycling box
Any non-recyclable wrapping paper should be presented in your grey general rubbish bin/beige sacks.
Please remember to recycle as much as you can over Christmas. The extra glass, cans, plastic bottles and plastic containers can go into your recycling wheelie bin or bag. Cardboard packaging from your presents can go in your recycling box.
Don't forget to flatten and fold large pieces of cardboard to the approximate size of your recycling box and place underneath.
