Recycling is easy to do. Please dispose of your waste in the correct bins. Putting the wrong items in your recycling bins can result in part or the whole load being rejected and therefore not recycled. This isn’t good for the environment and has a fi nancial impact upon the Council which may reduce service provision in the future.
