Councillor Chris Hobbs, Cabinet Member for Leisure and Customer Services, said: “A significant amount of waste is generated across the festive period and so I’d like to encourage our residents to recycle as much as they can. We’ll be sharing recycling tips across our social media platforms and it’s really important that we do what we can to help our teams at this busy time. Things like glittery wrapping paper and cards can’t be recycled so please do take the time to remind yourselves what you can and can’t put in your bins.”
