Council driving home message on recycling
A council spokesperson said: “Throughout the borough, residents are doing an excellent job recycling the majority of their waste, however there is still over a quarter of waste left in black/blue bins which could be easily recycled - which can make a huge difference to our recycling rate.
“Everyone can help by remembering to recycle all plastic bottles - from mouthwash to salad dressing, also pots, tubs and trays -bottle tops and lids too! When it comes to paper, it’s not just newspapers which can go in the recycling bin - envelopes, wrapping paper, birthday cards and even phone catalogues, you’d be surprised just how much you can actually recycle!
