| Reduce, Reuse and Recycle this Christmas Household Waste Recycling Centres Warwickshire County Council is responsible for all of the household waste recycling centres in Warwickshire visit the recycling centre opening times webpage to find out opening times over the Christmas period. Kerbside collections Please contact your district or borough council directly for information on the changes to your kerbside collection dates over the Christmas period.
Visit the shop smart webpage to find out how to reduce your waste this Christmas. Wrapping Paper Unfortunately, wrapping paper will not be accepted in your kerbside collection bin for recycling, this is because there are such a wide variety of different materials that make up wrapping paper and not all of them can be recycled. Why not try using string to secure your wrapping paper then your friends and family can reuse the wrapping paper again next year! Alternatively you could use a gift bag, which could also be reused! Cards Christmas cards can be recycled in your kerbside recycling collection or taken along to any of the household waste recycling centres The Woodland Trust is offering a guilt free way of disposing of Christmas Cards between 2-31 January 2011, which will also help raise funds through recycling credits to support the Woodland Trusts scheme - Tree For All - helping to give every child in the UK the chance to plant a tree. All you have to do is take your cards to any TKMaxx stores and M&S and place them in the special bins provided. Once received by the stores, the cards are collected and taken to regional distribution centres using existing transport links, where their weight is recorded. From here the cards are taken to paper mills where the paper is re-pulped, cleaned and turned into new paper products, typically these are tissue products and photocopy paper. Christmas Tree Recycling There are a number of ways to recycle your Christmas tree.
Mobile phones can be recycled through the freepost envelope scheme available from your local library or by taking it to your nearest Household Recycling Centre. Whichever method you choose all proceeds will go to Guide Dogs for the Blind. Printer cartridges can also be recycled by using the same services. Cans, glass and paper We generate more rubbish at Christmas than at any other time of the year. Around 60% of this could be recycled either at kerbside, mini recycling centres and Household Recycling Centres. You can find out where your local bring bank is located using on the Recycle More website. |
