Now you can recycle Cartons & Foil

by

Cartons and cardboard tube-shaped containers

We can now accept the following items:

            • Empty food cartons and drinks cartons (e.g. for soup, milk, juice etc.)
            • Cardboard tube-shaped containers (e.g. curved crisps, hot chocolate, gravy granules).

We’d be grateful if you could take the following actions before you recycle these items please:

            • Make sure they’re completely empty and rinsed out
            • Flatten them, if possible
            • Put any plastic lids back on, if possible.

Foil trays, sheet foil, and foil wrappers

We can now accept the following foil items in your recycling containers:

            • ✅ Foil containers (e.g. pie trays, take-away trays)
            • ✅ Foil sheets (e.g. to cover food or wrap sandwiches)
            • ✅ Confectionary wrappings (e.g. Easter eggs, the inner wrappings of chocolate bars)
            • ✅ Foil lids (e.g. yoghurts, noodles)

We’d be very grateful if you could carry out these simple actions before recycling your foil items please:

            • Wipe clean any sheet foil as best you can
            • Rinse foil trays
