At Christmas we produce a lot more rubbish, so a good time to ensure we recycle as much as we can.

The following is what can go in your pink recycling sack:

Paper and cardboard including:

• newspapers and magazines

• catalogues and directories

• writing/typing paper

• leaflets

• cards

• cardboard - if you can fit it in your sack. Otherwise, please take it to a Community Recycling Centre

• paper envelopes without windows or padding

Cans and tins including:

• food tins

• drink cans

• pet food tins

• sweet/biscuit tins

• metal lids from bottles and jars

Plastic bottles and containers (washed with lids removed) including:

• drinks bottles

• detergent and bleach bottles

• milk bottles

• yoghurt pots and margarine tubs

• rigid meat trays and fruit punnets

• ready meal containers

• plastic bottle caps/lids

Aluminium including:

• clean aluminium foil

• clean aluminium trays

Food and drink cartons (sometimes called Tetrapak) including:

• fruit juice cartons

• soup cartons

• long life milk cartons

Blue Box:

Please recycle you glass bottles and jars (without lids or corks) in your blue box.

Green Bin:

Please put you left over food, cooked or uncooked in your green bin - not your black sack.
