Make the most of your green recycling bin this Christmas

You’ll be amazed how much refuse you can get inside your green wheelie bin. With many more people ordering goods online we are asking residents to ensure they make the most of the space in their green bin over the festive period.

To ensure you can put as much as you can in your green bin and help the Council’s bin crews stay safe follows these simple tips;

• cut up or tear large cardboard boxes to a size where they can lay flat inside the bin

• remove tape from cardboard

• crush aluminium cans

• squash plastic bottles

• flatten other cardboard packaging, like cereal boxes
