Did you know up to 70% of everyday household waste can be recycled or reused in some way?

May 2021

We know recycling can be confusing – knowing what you can and can’t recycle, what items can go in the household bin and what ones require a special trip to the recycling centre.

Items such as toothbrushes, pens and even bras can easily be chucked in the regular bin when we’re done with them, but they can all be recycled! Whether or not your local centre recycles these items, there are plenty of other programmes that will accept and recycle for you.

Just make sure to check with your local recycling centre here: https://www.recyclenow.com/local-recycling
