Did you know:

• you can now recycle yogurt pots
• all types of cardboard
• juice cartons
• aerosol canisters
• as well as tins, cans and plastic bottles
• all your recycling can be mixed together in the cherry sacks

The cherry coloured recycling sacks are collected alongside your black sack, once a week, on your allotted collection day, for more information please call the contact centre on 01684 862 151.

We have made it as easy as possible for you to recycle so please recycle as much as you can. Our recycling rate is currently 33%-there is a lot more recycling that needs to be done if we are to achieve the national targets.

If you are not sure what to put in your cherry sack, why not have a look at the recycling guide for more information.

Please keep up the good work!
