24.01.2022 With hundreds of recycling labels out there, getting recycling right can be confusing and even recycling gurus get it wrong!

09.01.2022 Would you welcome customised recycling tips from your local council? We know that people want to do the right thing and feel that the more they can recycle, the better. We want to believe certain items are recyclable, even when they're not. Cos really, the less we send to landfill in those red bins, the better right? Wrong! The irony is that, in order to recycle more, we have to recycle less. It doesn’t help that many of us are wildly confused about what we should recycle Paper towels? Bottle tops? Garden hoses? Batteries? Paper envelopes with plastic windows? Plastic forks? Toothpaste tubes? Roll on deodorants? Greasy pizza boxes? Light bulbs? Broken glass or smashed crockery? Tissue box with the plastic rim attached?
