A to Z guide to Recycling
Batteries
Instead of buying normal batteries, why not buy rechargeable batteries which last longer and are better for the environment. Battery recycling points can be found at all major retailers.
Bin liners
You can buy biodegradable or recycled bin liners in most supermarkets.
Black box
Use this for all household rubbish that can be recycled including aerosols, newspapers, cans, glass, tins, plastic bottles and clothing/shoes.
For information on how to use your box and to find out about your collection day visit the Black Box Recycling Service page.
Books
Books in good condition can be donated to charity shops. You could also try using a site like www.readitswapit.co.uk| where you can swap your old books for someone else’s.
Bottles and jars
These can be recycled by putting them in your black box.
