Why not swap plastic decorations for handmade?
You can make some fin-tastic tree & gift decorations. You can compost all natural materials & pack away your recycled decorations. Its great way to get festive & have fun. Check out https://t.co/R5IT1Brmko @thedeephull

Put on your festive jumper before reaching to turn up that heating! This will reduce your energy consumption and save you money. #wastefreexmas

[Humber Waste Alliance @HumberWaste]

Gift an experience or membership rather than things! These can create memories for life and don’t produce any waste. #wastefreexmas

[Humber Waste Alliance @HumberWaste]

Wrapping paper can be recycled in the BLUE bin…if it’s made of paper and not foil or plastic. If it scrunches it can be recycled!
Please remove bows and ribbons. 🎀

Got family staying with you this holiday period? Remind them to save water by turning off the tap when brushing their teeth. #wastefreexmas @YorkshireWater

If you love baby sharks, cut down on balloons this Xmas and try some reusable alternatives like bunting, origami or pinecone decorations. #wastefreexmas @YorksWildlife

Education is key to successful environmental issues such as waste management and this is a two way discussion between college staff and students #learnfromoneanother #bishopburtoncollege #riseholme #ucbb #wastefreexmas @BishopBurton https://t.co/4JpW7Ksr7N

Remember that if you are using wet wipes to clean up this Christmas, throw them in the bin and never down the toilet. These 207 wet wipes were found on a single beach clean along the East Yorkshire coast this November. #wastefreexmas @YorksWildlife https://t.co/tjaGs8eLXp

Sellotape is made of plastic, but don’t panic! You can get brown paper tape, or why not try making your own wheat paper paste! #wastefreexmas

KCOM recently saved 220 items of old office furniture from landfill by donating to 17 community groups and charities in the Hull and East Riding region.
Why not follow our lead and recycle your unwanted office furniture in 2022? #wastefreexmas @KCOMhome

Plan ahead! Making a list on what you need before going present and / or food shopping can stop you buying things that you don’t need. #wastefreexmas
