Tips for recycling more at home
-
Squash down bottles, cans and boxes to help you fit more into your recycling bag or container.

- Help your flatmate/family by writing a list of what you can recycle for the fridge door.
- If you forget to put your recycling out on your collection day you can still recycle it at your nearest recycling centre.
- Shop around for a handy storage container if you prefer to use the micro recycling centres.
- Remember shampoo bottles, toilet roll tubes and clean aluminium foil can all be recycled. Check the full list of what you can put into your mixed recycling.
