Recycling Tips

It's never been easier to recycle. Follow our simple steps and start today.

Look for recycling logos on packaging before placing anything in the bin. With recycling centres available at a number of supermarkets and an increasing number of local councils providing recycled collection services there's no excuse, we've even provided a link to help you find the one closest to you!
Buy a bag for life from your local store and re-use for your regular grocery shopping - then there's no need to use plastic bags
Use plastic takeaway containers for packed lunches
Start a compost heap with garden cuttings and kitchen waste
Recycle your birthday, greetings and Christmas cards
Refill computer ink cartridges rather than purchasing new ones - also saving you money!
Purchase a sports drink bottle for the gym and fill with your favourite drink rather than disposable plastic bottle drinks
Use egg trays to grow tomato and plant seedlings
Donate half-used pots of paint to charities and community groups
Recycle your old mobile phone when you upgrade to a new one - some networks even pay for old phones!
