HOW TO RECYCLE RUBBISH

There are many ways that you can recycle household rubbish and unwanted items. Here are our top tips for reducing your waste and doing your bit for the environment.

Recycle your rubbish

Recycle glass by separating it from your other rubbish and using your parish glass collection

Buy rechargeable batteries rather than disposable, and then recycle them using the recycling banks

Recycle all your household metal packaging, i.e.:

cans, tins, aerosol cans, foil, foil trays, metal lids - aluminium and steel can be recycled again and again.

Recycle plastic bottles - they're made from oil which is a finite, natural resource

Instead of throwing unwanted electrical goods away, take them to the household recycling centre where they'll be split into their component parts and sent for recycling

recycle into the paper banks:

newspapers, magazines, brochures, catalogues, envelopes 

Buy a £10 home composting kit from your local garden centre and turn your kitchen and green garden into quality compost.
