The festive period is the time of year when households across the UK create more waste than at any other period.

Recycling

You may leave extra bags of recycling alongside your blue bin before a collection.

On your first black bin collection in January 2025, the council will take up to three extra bags of non-recyclable waste alongside your black bin.

Tips to reduce your festive waste

Christmas cards can be recycled if they don’t have any glitter, foil or embellishments. If you do want to recycle all of your cards, you’ll need to take off any embellishments and glittery areas before putting them in the blue bin.

Alternatively, cut them up make gift tags for next year.

Recyclable wrapping paper is now more readily available than ever, so use wrapping paper that can go in your blue bin.
