Recycling Tips

Your local council will most likely provide a kerbside recycling service. If not, take your recyclables to your local recycling depot.

Here are some simple recycling tips:

Plastics: Wash and remove lids of plastic bottles and containers marked with a triangular recycling symbol 1 to 7 such as soft drink and milk bottles, shampoo and cream bottles.
Paper: Keep and recycle all clean and dry newspaper, magazines, mixed paper, cardboard and telephone books. Clean and flatten cardboard milk and juice cartons.
Glass: Wash green, clear and brown glass bottles and jars and be sure to remove lids.
Cans: Wash steel and aluminum cans and remove the paper labels where possible.
