Marks and Spencer and WHSmith are accepting Christmas cards for
recycling to raise funds for the Woodland Trust. Please visit
www.woodlandtrust.org.uk
for more information.
Catalogues can also be recycled in
the green bin, although if you want to recycle your old Next
directory then you should tear off the laminated outer covers
because the plasticised finish prevents the card from being
recycled. You can then recycle the inner pages.
Kirsty Martin, the city council's
senior engagement officer, said: "There is always a great deal of
excess left over after the festive season and people might not think
that some of this could be recycled, for example empty sweet tins
and mail order catalogues.
"We would urge people to stop and
think before they put something in the bin and if they are not sure
then check that the item has a recycling logo or call the city
council on (01733) 747474.
