Recycling
Consider improving your recycling efforts. Why not set yourself up a simple recycling system in your home. Have a waste bin, a bin for kerbside recycling, a compost bucket and a container for other recyclables. In Wokingham Borough Council kerbside recycling will take:
- Aerosols
- All food tins and drinks cans
- Paper and card including window envelopes – shredded paper should be put in envelopes or cardboard boxes
- Plastic bottles without lids
- Broken down cardboard which must fit in the box or be in box size bundles placed to side of box
- Tubs (Ice cream and margarine)
- Clear plastic food trays (e.g. cakes, meat or punnet containers)
- Cosmetic pots and tubs (made with flexible plastic)
- Cartons or tetrapaks (milk, soup or juice) – all without lids
- Clean foil and foil trays
Be pedantic about your recycling – think about every item and whether it / or part of it could be recycled. Tubes from wrapping paper, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, used envelopes, junk mail, etc. For other items of recycling check out our recycling guide.
