Top Tips for Recycling Put all your plastic bottles and containers into your recycling bin. Put all you glass bottles and jars into your recycling bin. Put all your food cans (rinsed) into your recycling bin. Put all old newspapers, magazines, junk mail, books, writing paper, cardboard and directories (including yellow pages) into your recycling bin. Save all broken electrical and unwanted household items until you have enough to make a trip to one of the waste recycling sites in the Borough. Large items like fridges etc can be collected from your property by the Councils bulky collection service, but there is a small charge to cover the costs of the collection. If you don't have a car maybe a neighbour or relative would take them for you when they go. Compost whatever you can if you have a composter and use your green cone, if you have one. This counts as a reduction in waste and saves the council money. It also helps towards the waste reduction target set by the government. If you have something that isn't broken or worn out, but you need to dispose of it, try to find a good home for it or offer it to a charity shop. Reuse is better than recycling. Don't just throw it away. Try and buy goods with small amounts of packaging or with packaging you know you can recycle. Reuse what you can. For instance, use throwaway carrier bags more than once. Buy refills where possible. Think about recycling and see how good you can be. Once you start you just get better and better.
