If we do not return within this period, please take it back in and wait until your next scheduled collection.

Recycling hints and tips

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/reduce large pieces of cardboard to the approximate size of your recycling box and place underneath.

Christmas wrapping paper

We are currently unable to recycle wrapping paper, so please place this in your household waste.
