How to have a green Christmas:
- If you have a Greenbox, you can recycle the following items at
the kerbside or at a local recycling point: wrapping paper;
Christmas cards; clean and empty glass bottles & jars and clean
and empty drinks & food cans and empty aerosol cans.
- You can recycle your real Christmas trees using your Garden
Waste bin (place it beside the bin, on the day of your collection,
if it is too big to go inside). In the New Year, to help speed up
your garden waste collections, please do not place your garden
waste bin out for collection unless it is at least half full.
- If you have Greenbags you can recycle the following items from
the kerbside or from recycling points: cardboard food and packaging
boxes (please place beside your cardboard bag if it will not fit
in); hard plastic packaging; plastic bottles, plastic biscuit trays
& other plastic trays/food tubs. Please put plastics in one bag
and cardboard in the other as we cannot recycle mixed bags.
Festive Refuse and Recycling Collections
There will be NO changes to
your collection dates over the Christmas and New Year periods.
Collection days will be as usual.
