CHRISTMAS RECYCING


Don't forget that a great deal of the extra refuse produced in the home at Christmas can be recycled and doesn't need to be put in your wheelie bin:

If wrapping paper is not fit to be reused you can put it in your kerbside paper box. The same applies to Christmas cards and old calendars, although there are always bins in Smiths and most supermarkets for cards, which go to make money for the Woodland Trust and other charities. Following a couple of queries, I have checked with Waverley, and your paper box is the place to put old phone directories, including Yellow Pages.

Try to collect all your cardboard boxes together and make one journey to Witley Community Recycling Centre, where it is much quicker to tip it into their large skip than post it in the supermarket containers, which are often full. You could also offer to take someone else's if they are less able than you! Thinking of cardboard, I have just realised that the inner bag of cereal boxes can go in with plastic bags (recycle at your supermarket) - it says so on Sainsbury's cereals.

Christmas trees should be taken to the Witley Centre for shredding.

And finally, if you are buying a new bra for all those Christmas parties, your old one can be put in one of the bright pink cardboard boxes that are now at local leisure centres - Broadwater at Godalming or The Herons at Haslemere are our closest.  For your interest, the bras are sent out to African countries where there is a big demand and the money Waverley receives goes to Breast Cancer Research.
