Helpful Hints:
To get good value for your recycling bag, flatten and squash all items.
Only leave your bag out when it’s full and tie off full bags. To avoid littering, leave the bags out as close as possible to collection times.
Remember:
-
Wash out food tins.
-
Make sure drinks cans, plastic bottles and tetra-paks are empty.
-
To prevent smells rinse and drain tetra-paks, particularly milk cartons.
- Remember the only type of plastic acceptable is plastic bottles. No plastic bags, cling film, plastic wrapping, styrofoam, yoghurt pots, butter tubs or any plastic which is not a bottle.
