Recycling, tackling litter tossers and last chance to win!

Thank you for your recycling efforts!

We know it’s no longer National Recycle Week, but as always, a huge thank you to every single one of you for your efforts in continuing to recycle despite facing challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. It’s amazing that people are recycling so much more.

Here you can view the videos we posted on social media throughout the week to get the answers to some of the questions you asked us:

• Why do we provide clear sacks instead of bins?
• Why don’t we have a kerbside glass collection?
• What to do with your shredded paper, PPE and paper and card recycling
• What kind of plastic items can you recycle?
• Can you recycle nappies?
• Where does our recycling go? 

How can I recycle food and drink cartons?
