A bit too much for your recycling boxes?

Published: 07 January 2025

• Visiting a recycling site is the best way to get rid of large quantities of any materials, especially when public holidays or severe weather disrupt the usual recycling and rubbish collections.
• Make the most of your recycling containers. Crushing, squashing and flattening waste means you can fit more in your box – and crews more into the trucks. When you squash your waste it also makes it easier to sort.
• If you have the space, save extra recycling and put it out the following week.
