Let’s Sort It Out Salford

Paper and card are really easy to recycle but in Salford we are finding lots of blue paper and card bins that have the wrong things in. It is really important to recycle all your paper and card in your blue recycling bin, especially at Christmas time.

We are finding bags of rubbish that should go in the black bin and things like polystyrene and plastic packaging, electrical items, food and even dirty nappies. Recycling bins containing the wrong things can contaminate a whole truckload of recycling because it is not possible to take it all out.

This wastes everyone’s recycling efforts and public money too.

You can put lots of things in your blue paper and card recycling bin including:

• Empty cardboard boxes and packaging

• Paper and shredded paper

• Newspaper, magazines and catalogues

• Old books

• Envelopes and junk mail

• Greetings cards and wrapping paper (without glitter)

• Empty food and drink cartons
