🚫 Leaving items next to full litter bins = Fly-Tipping.
If it’s full, take it home or find another drop-off point.

🗑️ Your waste, your responsibility.

Use by dates refer to safety - food past this date is not safe to eat.

Best before dates refer to food quality - After this date, it might not be at its best, but it will still be safe to eat.
