National Recycling Week!

Published on Wednesday, 11 November 2026 at 2:32:35 PM

Every single time you recycle right, you're helping build a stronger circular economy, giving materials a brand-new life instead of constantly pulling fresh resources to make new products.
Let's stick to the core group and Recycle Just the Four:
- Paper and cardboard
- Cans
- Plastic bottles and containers
- Glass bottles and jars
Please leave these out of your yellow-lidded bin:
- Coffee cups
- Soft, scrunchable plastics
- Anything you're unsure about (When in doubt, leave it out!)
Quick habits for cleaner recycling:
✅ Keep recyclables loose (never bag them)
✅ Give containers a quick rinse
✅ Leave lids off
✅ Flatten or stomp down your boxes

These small habits make a huge difference in keeping our loads un-contaminated and ensuring everything gets sorted properly.
Let's work together to make landfill our absolute last resort!
