Is this available also in Greenwood please
Most of it yes, some are still being set up but should be available soon 🙂
Thank you so much for this information! I will definitely start collecting these items and bring them down with me. Thinking of making a check list, so I can make it easier to remember 😊
Great idea!
Do cosmetic and toothpaste tubes etc need to be clean inside before leaving at the recycling point? Thank you.
Hi Nicola, they need to be empty but not necessarily clean. Although unfortunately we have just been informed that this program is closing in July 2019.
Do you take pill blister packs for recycling? These don’t seemed to be mentioned anywhere on the government recycling website 🙁
No, we don’t. As far as we know these are not recyclable due to the mixed materials involved.
