The #BigRecyclingHunt is on, don’t let those shampoo bottles escape.

Keep bathroom bottles out of your black bin. Whether it’s bubble bath, shampoo or conditioner, once they’re empty, rinse the bottles and put them in your orange bags.

Did you know… you can recycle most cleaning bottles?

Join the #BigRecyclingHunt, find empty spray, bleach and detergent bottles, give them a quick rinse and pop them into your orange bags or shared recycling bins #RecycleWeek

Recycle Week is here, and the #BigRecyclingHunt is on.

Track down your empty aerosols - they don’t belong in your black bin. If they’ve had their last spray, recycle old deodorant, air freshener and hair spray cans in your orange bags.

Feeling inspired by the Great British Bake Off?

Whether you’re baking cakes, biscuits or pastries – don’t forget to rinse and recycle any foil in your orange bags afterwards.

We'll be visiting local libraries this week. Come along and see us with your questions about recycling and reuse.

Packaging can be confusing. It isn't always clear whether it's made from foil (which can be recycled) or metalised plastic (which can't).

Don’t be foiled – if you're not sure, check out Alupro’s guide to foil recycling and the scrunch test: https://t.co/NLrOFEN2ua #FoilFriday

Moving house can leave you with a lot of waste cardboard.

Fortunately, our crew will pick up all the cardboard you have on bin day for recycling, leaving you with one less thing to worry about.

Simply flatten any cardboard boxes and leave them under your orange bags.
