Remember…
To recycle any
cardboard

comes with your
presents by popping it in
the green recycling box,
or your white sack if it the
packaging is plastic
You cannot place wrapping paper
out in your recycling
collection because it often
contains foil
To recycle any
dinner leftovers in
your food waste bin or
to compost vegetable
peelings and egg shells
To recycle any
glass, cans or plastic

To recycle any
batteries you are
finished with – these can go
in your green recycling box.
A pledge
a day
R
egister for the council’s residents’
rewards scheme with Greenredeem
and you could qualify for extra points
every day through Christmas.
In the traditional style of an advent calendar,
each day a little treat can be unveiled by
registering, pledging to be green and
committing to recycling. The more you
recycle, the more points can
be accumulated.
You could get something small like
a free coffee, or something larger like
a discount off a holiday. There are
lots of discounts already available by
taking part in the scheme.
If you have already registered, make
sure you visit the Christmas discounts
page on the Greenredeem website.
