Here are a few tips on Recycling:
- Rinse whatever is dirty before putting them in the bin.
- Group items together so they are easier to sort and you'll also have more room in your bin.
- Lids and bottle tops are now recyclable.
- Clean and tidy, clothes, books and old shoes now are also recyclable.
Your rubbish must be on the kerb of your street by 7.30am the morning they are to be collected.
