Recycling Information for the Christmas Period
- Recycling isn’t just for Christmas time. There are more items and packaging to
recycle around Christmas, but make it your gift to the environment to recycle all
year round - After Christmas you can recycle your used packaging, used electrical items
and batteries - Keep all recyclables clean. Remember WASH and SQUASH before POPPING
them into your recycle bin - Remember put the following Christmas packaging in your recycle bin
once they’re CLEAN and DRY - Keep Glass separate for recycling at the bottle bank or recycling centre. Do not leave your bottles on the ground in boxes or bags at the bottle bank as this slows collections and is a litter offence leaving you open to potential prosecution’.
- Recycle your used CARDBOARD and Christmas WRAPPING PAPER
- Recycle ALUMINUM DRINK CANS
- Recycle GLASS BOTTLES
- Many households now have access to brown bins for food and garden waste. If you are fortunate to have one remember to gather up all your left over food waste, vegetable and fruit peelings and wrap them in old newspapers before placing them in the brown bin
- When the festivities are over bring any unwanted gifts of clothes or toys to your local charity shop or give them away online through sites such as www.freetrade.ie
Wishing you all a very happy Christmas and New Year
